HMS Terror
From Graces Guide
Captain Back left England in HMS Terror in 1836 for an Arctic expedition of discovery to complete the line between Prince Regent's Inlet and Point Turnagain.[1]
With HMS Erebus took part in the successful Antarctic expedition of 1839–43 under Sir James Clark Ross and Francis Crozier.
1845 Together with HMS Erebus, the Terror was lost on the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition to the Arctic.
A later vessel bearing this name was launched in 1856, the first iron hulled, armour plated warship to go to sea. She was a 16-gun iron screw floating battery. She became the base ship at Bermuda in 1857 and was sold in 1902. See HMS Terror (1856).
