Fascinating! I had just posted something about the lead in the canned food solder that may have abetted the expedition's disaster. Erebus, a Hecla class bomb ship built in Wales, is at 105 ft with a 29 ft beam; Terror a Vesuvius class, built in Devon, is slightly smaller at 102 ft with a 27 ft beam- the slight dimension differences should aid in identifying the vessel's identity. Great post Tarjac!
