3D Printed Replica Bell From HMS Erebus
The Canadian government and the Royal Ontario Museum are sponsoring an exhibition on an important episode in early Canadian history, the tragic ending of Rear Admiral Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition to locate the Northwest Passage. This past fall, researchers with the help of Inuit elders, were able to locate one of Franklin’s ships, the HMS Erebus. While the ship has decayed extensively on the ocean floor, its brass bell survived. A 3D printed replica of the bell is the centerpiece of the exhibition, which will travel this coming year to seven cities in Canada.
