"Over the next 170 years, many clues to the
expedition's grisly fate have been recovered. As
described in "19 Facts About the Franklin
Expedition, the Real-Life Inspiration for The
Terror," these include gravesites on remote Arctic

including disease, murder, and starvation. In recent
years, most experts thought that the expedition had
been poisoned by the lead used to seal the tin cans of
food. (Mental Floss, 2018)"
