The same anthropological team, in a second paper, has decisively solved one of the enduring mysteries of Franklin scholarship. In 1859, the skeleton of a dead sailor, unburied, was found alone on the south shore of King William Island. The body was dressed in a torn steward’s uniform, but was found to be carrying personal papers belonging to Harry Peglar, the Captain of the Foretop aboard Erebus’s sister ship Terror. The skeleton was originally left behind under a heap of rocks, but was relocated in 1973 and retrieved for the collection of Canada’s National Museum of Man, which misplaced it (along with all associated records) sometime in the 1980s. This left a total enigma: had the doubly lost dead man been Peglar, or somebody else?
