Ghost ship series: The lost expedition © George Grie, September 2008
title: Ghost ship series: The lost expedition
This image was originally prepared as a background scene for the Mindscape artwork. However, I have decided give it a chance to be a detached picture and joined it to the ghost ship series. I have adjusted its color scheme and made additional elements to fit the series. This picture was inspired by Franklin's lost expedition that departed England in 1845. It was a doomed British voyage of Arctic exploration of 128 men led by Captain Sir John Franklin. Royal Navy officer and experienced explorer had served on three previous Arctic expeditions. His fourth and last, was meant to traverse the last un-navigated section of the Northwest Passage. Over the next 150 years, other expeditions, explorers, and scientists would piece together what happened next.
A team of scientists in 1980’s began a series of scientific studies of the graves, bodies, and other physical evidence left by Franklin crewmembers on Canadian north arctic islands. They concluded that the crewmembers whose graves had been found on Beechey Island most likely died of pneumonia and tuberculosis. Cut marks on human bones found on King William Island were seen as signs of cannibalism. The combined evidence of all studies suggested that cold, starvation, lead poisoning, and disease including scurvy killed everyone on Franklin's last expedition. This lost expedition has been the subject of many artistic works, including songs, verse, short stories, and novels, as well as television documentaries. In the visual arts, the loss of expedition inspired a number of paintings in both the United States and Britain.

Hi George, I had the experience that your pictures just strike me in this amazing unexplainable way, they connect with me like it was pre-programmed, un an unconscious level. But they're also amazing when examined consciously. Thank you for the art.
