Franklinheads, what is your top pet peeve when it comes to perceptions of the [historical] Franklin Expedition?
Mine is 100% the "most advanced technology of their day" concept of HMS Erebus and Terror. I think the origins of this are in the 1980s, when Owen Beattie's ice mummy exhumations propelled the Franklin Expedition into the spotlight. JUST LIKE THE SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER!—this was the pat comparison of the day. You could definitely draw some parallels if you tried hard enough, but no, I don't think the Space Shuttle Challenger is a very good analogy.
There was pretty much nothing unique or particularly new about the technology in Franklin's ships—not the tinned food, not the desalinator, not the heating system, and definitely not the puny steam engines—and Franklin's men knew this! They were aware that Erebus and Terror were beat-up old warships, one of the ships fought in the War of 1812 before most crew members were born! Fitzjames called them "old tubs," and Le Vesconte jokingly compared them to 17th and 18th century fictional vessels (Red Rover and Water-Witch).
Steam frigates with hundreds of horsepower were built even in the 1830s! But they couldn't carry fuel lasting for years; whereas Franklin's men had ~13 days of coal for their 20-horsepower engines, which at most might get them out of a harbour in unfavourable winds. As a child I read books that made such a big deal about the steam engines, I really thought they would be under steam all the time, crashing through the ice with their Advanced Technology just like the space shuttle.
If anything, the Franklin Expedition is part of a tradition of the British using obsolete ships and technology for polar exploration. Compare Terra Nova with the latest technology of the 1910s: she looks like the relic of an earlier age that she was.

281. Tales from the Thousand Lakes - Amorphis (Melodic Death Metal, 1994)
Art by Sylvain Bellemare
The lyrics originate from a translation of the "Kalevala" - a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology.
The Kalevala is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature

Right so in recent days there has been many hints of TLSP3!! So I thought I’d make a post and compile all the ‘evidence’ and explain it all.
So firstly arctic monkeys announced extra tour dates in Ireland to make up for the cancellation earlier in the year. They have announced Miles Kane as a special guest / supporting act?
And then MK posted this on his story and then the next day shared the AM tour post (1) onto his story saying “it’s gonna be big ”. (Don’t have the ss for this sorryyyy)
(Got this off an insta story but I did check it and this is really happening w the website) This picture is of the shadow puppets website. Now the thing with this is that it could just mean that they are no longer paying for the platform or it could and I stress could mean that the website might be being changed for tlsp3. (It’s been confirmed that they are paying for the platform *creds to person in comments who told me) BIG THINGS R COMINBGGGGG
Other evidence is that the gaps between each tlsp reunion 2008-2016 is 8 years and 2016-24(potentially) is 8 years so a lot of people think they will follow in path with the last reunion.
So yeah enjoy this or don’t ! I will post updates on potential tlsp3 :)
