Arctic exploration and search for Franklin’s lost expedition  

By Kevin Cronin

Kevin is a member of our local history club. He was involved as a support crew on the Camino voyage where a naomhóg was rowed from Ireland to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, this was made into a film. This as well as sailing a Galway Hooker to New York in 1986. He also was on the yacht that circumnavigated the Arctic Circle, which also appeared as a documentary on RTÉ television. Kevin’s talk is on one of the greatest mysteries in the history of exploration: the story of John Franklin, the explorer who sailed into the Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage and never came back. A team of scientists and explorers set out to solve the mystery.
