This stamp predates the find recently of personal items from the doomed Arctic Franklin Expedition. HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were mysteriously lost at sea 175 years ago and it wasn't until 2014 that the Erebus was found and deep sea archaeologists were able to begin their search of the ship on the sea floor.

    The Franklin stamps I have do not show anything beneath the sea, Great choice.

    An amazing lot of detail has been squeezed onto the stamp to tell the story.
