Coffee beans
-
Where was this artifact found?
The coffee beans were found on the lower deck, at the bottom of a drawer, in the presumed Captain’s Steward’s pantry.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
These are seeds identified as Coffea arabica, also known as Arabian coffee. Based on their appearance, they were probably already fermented and roasted.
-
What was this artifact used for?
Then as now, coffee and tea were popular and widely consumed beverages. After roasting, coffee beans were ground in a hand mill. In 1845, the newer method of filtering coffee through a percolator had begun to replace the older method of adding ground coffee directly to boiling water.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
Fragments of a highly degraded pewter coffee pot(s) with a wooden handle were recovered from the same area. These beans were probably dropped by accident, as this pantry was certainly also used to store provisions for the captain and-or his officers.

Sextant box
-
Where was this artifact found?
This lower half of a sextant box has not been recovered. It was documented during remotely-operated vehicle exploration of Erebus’ hold, and likely fell from one of the cabins above.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
This artifact is made of an unidentified wood. Boxes for sextants were commonly made of tropical hardwoods like mahogany, with brass hinges and hardware.
-
What was this artifact used for?
The keystone shape of this box indicates it held a sextant. A sextant is a navigational instrument shaped like the letter ‘A,’ typically used to measure angles between astronomical objects and the horizon to determine latitude. Sextants were expensive precision instruments, and so were kept in a protective box or case when not in use.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
The box appears to be empty and full of sediment, so it is unclear if the sextant was taken by it’s owner when the ship was deserted in April 1848, or if the instrument remains to be discovered in another area of the vessel. A brass sextant was located on the lower deck of Erebus in 2015, which may be associated with this empty box.

Tripod
-
Where was this artifact found?
This wooden tripod has not been recovered. It was documented during remotely-operated vehicle exploration of Captain Crozier’s cabin on Terror. The tripod is located on a lower shelf along the port side of the cabin.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
The tripod has three hinged wooden legs which support the head. The head has a cylindrical metal fitting to which instruments could be attached. Greenish corrosion indicates that the hinges and fittings are made of a copper alloy, likely brass.
-
What was this artifact used for?
This tripod could have supported a variety of instruments used for surveying, astronomy, and natural science, as nearby shelves appear to hold boxes of scientific instruments. The concentration of expensive instruments in the Captain’s cabin illustrates its importance as a centre of shipboard scientific activity. Image 2 shows a tripod supporting a plane table, from A Practical Treatise on Topographical Surveying and Drawing, by William Siborn (1827).
-
What do we know about this artifact?
Tripods like this were used to support precision scientific instruments. Sir John Franklin’s instructions from the British Admiralty indicate that the expedition was supplied with numerous scientific instruments. Officers on the Franklin Expedition were dedicated and experienced scientific observers. Captain Crozier, for example, was known for conducting regular observations on terrestrial magnetism during a previous Antarctic voyage with Sir James Clark Ross in 1839–1843.

Meteorological instruments
-
Where was this artifact found?
These meteorological instruments were observed during remotely-operated vehicle exploration of Captain Crozier’s cabin on Terror in August 2019, mounted on the side of a cupboard marked as a “Pantry” in a plan of the ship from 1837.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
The frames of these instruments are made of a copper alloy, likely brass, while the vertical glass tubes would have contained mercury or alcohol. Brass was the preferred material for scientific instruments, as it was less susceptible to distortion caused by local environmental changes than wood.
-
What was this artifact used for?
These artifacts were used for gathering meteorological data including air temperature, and possibly humidity and atmospheric pressure. Royal Navy expeditions to the Arctic recorded meteorological observations at fixed times every day, and logged them in the ship’s meteorological journal.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
The artifact on the left appears to be a thermometer. Royal Navy expeditions carried numerous thermometers, mounted at various locations inside and outside the ship. The artifact on the right has two vertical glass tubes. It may be a sympiesometer, used for measuring changes in atmospheric pressure, a wet and dry thermometer, used for measuring humidity, or possibly a maximum and minimum thermometer to register extremes of temperature.

Flag locker
-
Where was this artifact found?
Two flag lockers were observed during archaeological dives on Terror in 2019. They are located behind the water closets on either side of the upper deck, at the stern of the ship.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
The lockers are made of wood. They have curved roofs which slope down to the taffrail, with small square niches visible inside. A hinge suggests they once had doors.
-
What was this artifact used for?
The small niches suggest these lockers were used to store flags. In addition to naval ensigns, Royal Navy ships carried signal flags to communicate with other vessels. Image 2 shows Erebus signalling to Terror on June 4, 1845, and comes from the collections of the National Library of Australia.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
These lockers do not appear in any plans of Terror, but their locations at the very stern of the ship, in an area known as the quarterdeck, supports their identification as flag lockers. The quarterdeck was an area reserved for the captain and officers of the watch, who were in charge of signaling other vessels. Henry Le Vesconte, Second Lieutenant of Erebus, is shown holding a signal book in a daguerreotype image taken shortly before the expedition departed. You can view the portrait here.

Barrel organ
-
Where was this artifact found?
This artifact has not been recovered. It was observed lying on its side on the lower deck of Terror in the forecastle/sick bay area.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
The barrel organ box is made of wood with its mechanical parts made of wood and metal. It is flat topped with a central oval panel containing decorative dummy pipes.
-
What was this artifact used for?
A barrel organ is a musical instrument played by turning a hand crank which inflates a set of bellows and rotates a pinned/stapled barrel that in turn opens selected pipes. During the long, cold winters aboard the ice-bound Erebus and Terror, keeping the crews entertained and morale up were important. This organ would not only have provided entertainment but also music for Sunday religious services.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
In a letter dated May 16, 1845, Lieutenant John Irving of Terror stated: “We have a large hand-organ in each ship. One plays fifty tunes, ten of which are psalms and hymns. We bought it by subscription. ‘Music has charms,’ you see”.

Artificial horizon set
-
Where was this artifact found?
The complete box set (including an artificial horizon roof, mercury tray and mercury bottle) was recovered from the lower deck of Erebus in one of the lower ranked officer’s cabins.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
While the instrument box is made of wood, the artificial horizon roof is made of brass and glass; the tray and bottle are both made of ferrous metal.
-
What was this artifact used for?
Mercurial artificial horizons were used with sextants to determine latitude when the horizon was not visible, due to poor visibility or when obstacles such as ice obscured the horizon. This roof was used to cover a mercury-filled tray that actually created the artificial horizon, and acted as a mirror.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
This navigational instrument may bear its owner’s name/initials, whether an individual or government institution. This will be confirmed following conservation treatment.
There were multiple artificial horizons on the ship belonging to, or used by, the officers.
To see what an artificial horizon box set typically contained and how the instrument was used, see this image from the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum: https://arcticcollections.bowdoin.edu

Parallel rule
-
Where was this artifact found?
These two parts of a hinged parallel rule were discovered on the lower deck within what is believed to be the Captain’s Steward’s pantry. They were found amongst a range of other writing implements.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
They are made of mahogany.
-
What was this artifact used for?
A parallel rule is used to draw parallel lines on navigational charts or while drawing. A complete example can be seen here: https://www.si.edu/object/hinged-parallel-rule:nmah_690219.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
Interestingly the smaller piece is marked with the name “Fred Hornby”. Frederick John Hornby was the Third Mate of HMS Terror at the outset of the Franklin Expedition. We do not know why his parallel rule was on Erebus. It is possible he transferred to the ship, loaned it, or it came aboard for some other reason(s). A sextant and silver cutlery belonging to Hornby were found on King William Island in 1859.

Chamber Pot
-
Where was this artifact found?
This artifact was observed using a remotely operated vehicle, on the lower deck of Terror, in the second port side cabin from the bow.
-
What material is this artifact made of?
The chamber pot is likely made of refined white earthenware, as are many other ceramics recovered from HMS Erebus
-
What was this artifact used for?
Chamber pots were commonly used in the 19th century ashore and at sea for individuals to relieve themselves in their room at night, in private. Aboard 19th-century vessels, chamber pots were used by the officers in their cabin, as opposed to the shared facilities used by the crew, called “heads” and normally situated at the bow or at the stern of the vessel. There are two closets on the upper aft deck of Terror, still standing, in which one or both might have been used as latrines.
-
What do we know about this artifact?
It is impossible to determine if this object is decorated or bears a maker’s mark with the available video.
