Finding Franklin: Victoria Strait Expedition
In the summer of 2014, the President of NORSTRAT Consulting had the privilege of sailing the North West Passage for a second time as a mission crew member on the Victoria Strait Expedition, because, searching for Franklin’s ships.
Despite several challenges, including persistent sea ice, uncharted waters, and bringing together the different goals and constraints of Government, industry, and academic team members, we successfully discovered the HMS Erebus.
“The reason the voyage was so special for me was that it brought into focus 30 years of Arctic systems engineering experience. It’s one thing to design and build sea ice mapping systems, route survey systems, maritime domain awareness systems. It’s quite another to try and make those systems work for you on a challenging mission in the waters of the Northwest Passage.”
