Check out the Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage.

Got stuck in ice over winter, and all summer, ... and all were lost.

There is also a fact based (as much as known) fiction of the expedition.

I saw that one of the Franklin ships had been found. Very cool!

Over the last couple of years I've also read about warmists trying to sail the Northwest Passage in the summer and getting trapped in ice. The B.S. about the Passage being completely ice free in the summers now is wrong. Eventually the computer models have to face the reality on the Earth.

Cerberus and Terror, I believe, were the apt names of the two doomed ships?
