Realistically speaking, what would you do in this situation?

piss around the ship to free it from the ice, then keep pissing in front of the ship so it can navigate until it is off the ice

rawr

Adapt the beaver lifestyle and slowly eat up the ship.

I would establish my own kingdom where gay sex would be alowed. I'd call it... the United Kingdom, yeah.

Ship doesn't look big enough for all of them + their activities.

Cut off my tongue and become the manbearpig whisperer

Hickey takes a shit on Crozier's bed

It's never mentioned again

?

Most likely they just kept the ship running as long as they could until their food ran out and they all died of starvation/exposure. Native hunting parties described finding the ships not long after the last crewmen had died.

what the fuck was this faggot's problem

That's why it would be vital to unite the crew. To move to a warmer climate. Save as many lives as possible. People die faster when divided.

Well, I have the knowledge that there are natives on the eastern side of the Island, so I head east with everything we can put on the sleds. Once we find seals to kill, things become much easier, the sooner we find the natives the better since they can lead us to seals. Then once we get enough meat, we head south.

I would help around the camp, crack jokes, tend to the wounded...just try my best to be an all around good sir

IT'S ALLOWED IN THE NEW UNITED KINGDOM

What were they thinking?

named Goodsir

is a good sir

hack writing

Actually, I checked and my idea is feasible.
It would take roughly 2 months on foot but at least some of them would have survived

Get Dr. Frankenstein and his monster to bust us out

Realistically speaking

get sick and die?

I would have activated my vril force.

And what was their plan once they got to the area where the ice turns into deadly cold water?

It was gibson's bed, the guy he was having sex with that irving caught them in the act of. Gibson blames hickey and confides in irving which makes hickey mad and he poops in his bed. The white glove he puts on is gibson's glove he uses when serving the captain as his steward. The captain's quarters are in a different room, much bigger. Obviously gibson wouldn't report it since it would lead to more people finding out about his buggery with hickey.

blamed it on the tuunbaq

Save as many lives as possible.

You're a bleeding heart, you get people killed in a disaster with this unrealistic thinking.
There was no scenario where they saved everyone by sticking together, relying on the power of teamwork and friendship to move south.
The optimal survival strategy is for a small group of the healthiest and strongest (10-20 guys) to take as much food and supplies as they could reasonably carry and set out south. Most of them would die, a handful might have made it too a Canadian trader, this is the best that could have been hoped for. The people left on the boat would die, they where always going to die, there was no way to save them.

They dragged a boat containing all their supplies. The problem is the ice was all crags and fissures, so it made progress virtually impossible.

I would probably try to stay warm in the ships with small parties going out and if they found the Indians trade western shit for food. No doubt I would gather a gang to start eating people if it came to it.

Man bear pig

I’d read The Holy Bible.

Call an uber

this show is super kino
the book is a really good read too
liked it so much i even got the show on blu-ray though i wish i had a way to screencap stuff
some of the best Anon Babble threads in a long time were terror threads

best guy

I hate the guy like you wouldn't believe.

That was never gonna happen lol. Being stranded like that is life and death. They're not all gonna listen just because you're "officially" in charge, they'll do what they think will help them survive.

Most of them would die, a handful might have made it too a Canadian trader

Encountering a trader wouldn't magically save them up there. Some men did find and trade with Inuit who were already trading with colonial traders themselves. But they still died. The ice was frozen so there weren't gonna be supplied trade ships coming anyway. They'd have to find an actual trade settlement, which was impossible no matter how well equipped and physically fit they were.

Shoot Mr. Hickey on the neck.

Encountering a trader wouldn't magically save them up there.

I meant a trading port, not a lone trader. And I have no illusions that my plan would actually save the whole 20 man group. At best I think 1 or 2 might survive, but that's much better than no one surviving and he could have then told us exactly what happened and cleared up a lot of mysteries.
My plan is essentially asking the entire crew to accept there inevitable fate, die sooner rather than later or commit mass suicide, so that word of the expeditions fate can reach England. It's cruel, but more productive than the slow deaths they had in reality.

see my map, the nearest trading port was 600km away

a polar bear isn't scary enough...make it lame and gay!

Yeah it's a nearly impossible trek i'll admit. But as they move south they would have encountered more Inuit, which might have opened up more survival opportunities. Getting off the sea ice and onto actual land would have also made travel easier, made more small animals available to hunt.
I'm not saying there's a 10% chance they make it, but there is a 0% chance of survival if they stay, so might as well try.

Realistically speaking? I would get out of that situation by not being in it in the first place

but i did have breakfast today

None you faggots would have been on board.

what mysteries

try to survive

that's all it took to get a sweet comfy gig on a ship, just show up. these faggots had it so easy. I got rejected from fucking mcdonalds.

I would listen to what the eskimos had to say and that's what no one did

gets hanged to prove a point because the captains are all scrambling to quell dissent and stop half their men from abandoning them to die

recognition in case of success

I don't know but I just lost it reading that. I pictured a poor boy just thinking to himself while he signs up: what does failure look like?

I think this may be what happened

It was never feasible to walk across nearly all of Nunavut. Once you get away from the coast it's just endless flat bedrock. There are tons of rivers and lakes, but no fish once you get far from the coast. No firewood, scarce wildlife (since there's nothing there), no cover. Just you and a bunch of rock and snow (or tundra grass in the summer). The natives never lived there because it's impossible to survive there. There's still nothing there despite modern technology.

All the historical unknown's concerning the fate of the expedition from a historical and archeological perspective. We are able to piece together and have a pretty good idea what exactly happened and when and why. But getting an actual oral account from a survivor would have changed everything, or if they had managed to carry out some more written letters from the crew and captain. There was some documents buried early in one sailors grave. But obviously no logbooks survived 180 years underwater

Take away the promise of recognition and honor, tack on "Minimum 5 Years Experience Necessary", and this is literally 90% of contemporary job advertisements.

survive

Caribou are plentiful and odds of running into random herd are quite high. The hell zone between the ice desert and the start of the tree line is 150-200km. Survive off the rations and go hard for the trees and your chances of survive skyrocket...depending on the time of year. Still though it's a long horrid trip, and even if you do make it to a fort what you will find is a few shabby houses full of half retarded trappers drinking their lives away and at best a mountie. You'll still be waiting months to keep going south.

The north is mostly unoccupied because the Canadian government is incompetent and there's no economic incentive to colonize it. Russia has almost identical conditions in its north and they're developing it like crazy.

based

At 30km a day it would take 21 days, stretch that out to allow for fatigue and difficult terrain to a month. It's very feasible.
For comparison in the first Gulf war a failed SAS mission to destroy a Scud Missile Launcher caused the team to flee some were captured, killed but one man called Chris Ryan escaped by walking across the Iraqi Desert alone to make it to the Syrian border a distance of 290-300km in 7 days with barely any food or water.

Drop anchor and wait it out. There'd be enough walrus and seal and fish to eat, whale oil for heat and light.

oh yeah that happened
turning a 10/10 show into a 7/10 show just like that

If supplies are low: Kill two men. Butcher them. Gather supplies. Go alone with their flesh and resources. Being around others is a liability. Two butchered human corpses can allow me to last for months and help me avoid the lead poisoned cans. If they catch up to me or I contact civilisation and I get found out I’ll say I found them dead together from a fight or something.

I would listen to what the eskimos had to say and that's what no one did

Blame Hickey for killing them

get a game of cricket going, the outfield would be crisp

Anon Babble was defending this nonsense when the show aired

Mandogpig

Did you watch the show? The are locked in ice. They where stuck in the for 18 months, even over the summer they couldn't get free.

why didn't it work

The Franklin expedition knew it was a possibility they would get locked in the ice, so the first winter they didn't really care. The ships had a metal hull which was a new thing at the time, and they had enough rations to survive years in the ice (in theory)
But the the canned food was actually poisoned due to improper canning techniques, so once they realized that it changed everything and THEY had to GTFO but couldn't.

Nah, i'd win
