Rigging, sails and sea - part 03 of building the HMS TERROR from Occre

In 1845, under the command of Sir John A. Franklin, the ships Terror and Erebus set off on an expedition to navigate the famous Northwest Passage. They were the first ships to be fitted out with auxiliary steam engines and were also reinforced with iron plating, fore and aft, to increase their resistance to pack ice. They were stocked with sufficient supplies for 3 years at sea.
The last sighting of the two ships was off Greenland was as they entered Baffin Bay, gateway to the frozen Arctic labyrinth.


With the collaboration of an Inuit hunter from the Arctic hamlet of Gjoa Haven, on 26th September 2016 the wreck of H.M.S. Terror, 168 years after her disappearance, was finally discovered. The Terror was in excellent condition. Images have been obtained of her deck and interior, showing perfectly preserved objects and parts of the ship that remained intact.


"Rigging, sails and sea" is the third video of assembling the H.M.S. Terror from Occre in scale 1/75 eventually placed in a diorama which was printed with the Anycubic FDM printer VYPER


Many thanks to Erick Miotke for his fantastic music theme which covers the dramatic ice situation.

The 3D pack ice was designed in Cinema 4D and printed with the Anycubic FDM printer VYPER.
