HMS Terror lifted by Ice during Captain George Back's Arctic expedition to Hudson Bay, 1836-1837
From Round About the North Pole (published 1907) by W. J. Gordon with woodcuts and other illustrations by Edward Whymper (1840-1911). Info from wiki: HMS Terror was a bomb vessel constructed for the Royal Navy in 1813. She participated in several battles of the War of 1812, including the bombardment of Fort McHenry. Later converted into a polar exploration ship, she participated in George Back's Arctic expedition of 1836–1837, the Ross expedition of 1839 to 1843, and Sir John Franklin's ill-fated attempt to force the Northwest Passage in 1845, during which she was lost with all hands along with HMS Erebus.
