I have found this other death, of a seaman who died in august of 1825 during the third expedition of Parry. He was buried in Neill Harbur in the east coast of Prince Regent Inlet:<br /><br />"John Page, seaman of the Fury, departed this life; he had for several months been affected with a scrofulous disorder, and had been gradually sinking for some time.<br /><br />The funeral of the deceased took place after Divine service had been performed on the 28th; the body being followed to the grave by a procession of all the officers, seamen, and marines of both ships, and every solemnity observed which the occasion demanded. The grave is situated near the beach close to the anchorage, and a board was placed at the head as a substitute for a tombstone, having on it a copper-plate with the usual inscription."Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-19815328857714122552015-01-31T19:03:17.705+01:002015-01-31T19:03:17.705+01:00Thank you very much Mechtild!
And thanks too for ...Thank you very much Mechtild!<br /><br />And thanks too for rescuing all those names from the forgotten. It seems that is going to be the only thing which with luck will be brought from those lands for the moment. I think it is fair that their names sound at least as familiar to us as the names of the men of Beechey island.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-38346194694372003822015-01-31T16:23:52.735+01:002015-01-31T16:23:52.735+01:00Deaths in the search for Franklin which are known ...Deaths in the search for Franklin which are known to me so far are the following:<br />HMS Investigator: 5 people died : <br />John Boyle 6.4.1853, John Ames 11.4.1853, John Kerr 12.4.1853, (buried at Banks Island): H. H.
