As a Victorian sailor, I have often longed to shove my schooner right up the Northwest Passage. Imagine my delight at hearing the news that the HMS Terror, which attempted the expedition in 1836, has finally be found.
Sadly all the crew died of warts and chafing, but I'd like to know which passage you would like to navigate?

Franklin was forced into a the life of an arctic explorer after all his paramours rejected his repeated advances to explore their northwest passage.

I be just back off a three-yearer on a nine-knot tramp, short-handed an' broken-yarded at that, an' I don't take kindly to hearin' all this bilge out o' the mouths o' land-lubbers sich as yersels. Wictoriern Sailer, eh? Ha! I'd like ter see ye last three year on ship's biscuit an' hard tack, an not so mich as the bosun's rope ter tickle yer fancy on a stormy night.

Hey Geoffroy...you chose a very poor name. (and I don't mean 'Geoffroy')

How dare you? Sir is a very fine name, used by such great people as Sir Elton John, Sir Judi Dench, and Sir Peewee Herman.

Don't mean to sound like a pot calling a Kettelle black but I could say the same thing about your name.
