Here are the graves of the first 3 sailors (furthest 3) who died while Franklin wintered on this place. Their graves were discovered in the late 80's. The bodies were exhumed and were perfectly preserved, as you probably know. They were photographed, samples taken and the bodies reburied. THe grave markers are, of course, new and the site is maintained in as original a condition as possible. The nearest grave is that of a sailor who died in 1854, searching for Franklin.
