Description: | A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-48. A boat's thimble, found in an abandoned boat at Erebus Bay, King William Island by the Schwatka Search Expedition 1878-79. An iron ring, grooved on the outer edge to receive a rope, spiced to form an eye. The markings on the boat's stem indicate it was the same one found by McClintock. During the intervening years the Inuit had broken it up. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Schwatka Expedition Royal Naval Museum thimbles (rigging parts) | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
