A dive to look for more evidence about the fate of the Franklin expedition has been cancelled. Covid has dashed hopes that vital evidence could be recovered from the sunken wrecks of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, such as the ship’s logs or photographic images likely taken by Fife doctor Harry Goodsir. Harry, who grew up in the East Neuk, was acting assistant surgeon and naturalist on Sir John Franklin’s polar expedition that aimed to seek the fabled Northwest Passage. Terror and Erebus were abandoned in heavy sea ice in 1848 and the 105 men sought a route to safety across the frozen Arctic on foot.
