S5 Ep3: The Cursed Painting, Part 2

The Whispering Gallery

The last episode was all about the Franklin expedition and it had me slinging facts and quotes left and right and because there were so many interesting things related, with some more removed than others to the cursed painting. When editing the audio I had to edit out a couple of times when I had run out of breath! There was simply a lot to cover and we were just skating along the surface. Whew!
We left off with two abandoned ships, no survivors and the terrible story that the officers and crew of the ships had perished in the hostile environment of the polar desert —some were never accounted for.
Grim, sad, and a beyond-difficult story, but that leaves us at a turning point in our story. The expedition left England in 1845 add to that the search and rescue starting in 1847 and ending 40 expeditions later in 1859. The search for the Franklin expedition ended 14 years after they departed.
That’s holding out some serious hope, but was it? there was still the lure of finding the Northwest Passage. And going on these rescue mission came with the chance to discover the Northwest Passage.
Five years after the rescuers stopped looking—it was 1864 we arrive at the painting Man Proposes, God Disposes by Edwin Landseer who was living in Victorian England.
So what is with that painting title?
