This is really interesting to me. These old ships, and their dire endings in the deep.

The other day I watched this fascinating video about the Flying Dutchman on Youtube. Extremely well done:

Any gold on board? What are the GPS coordinates of this wreck? I'll be heading north in an hour....it's probably about a four day drive for me!

In 1997 I wrote an instrumental on the Franklin Expedition as involving Adolphus Washington Greely. It’s called “Polar Patrol” and can be found on the recording “Transmogrified,” by Uncle Art.
