Hmotné pozůstatky nalezené M'Clintockovou výpravou

Zde naleznete (v budoucnu – pracuje se) seznam předmětů vztahujících se k Franklinově výpravě, které v roce 1859 nalezla expedice vedená kapitánem Francise L. M'Clintockockem na Ostrově krále Viléma. Seznam pochází z dodatku knihy The voyage of the "Fox" in Arctic seas: a narrative of the discovery of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions‎ a je mírně upraven či doplněn dle článku RELICS OF THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION z The Sydney Morning Herald z 27. prosince 1859, strana 8. Tento článek přetiskuje seznam nálezů publikovaný v the Illustrated London News 1. října 1859. Seznamy v knize a článku jsou prakticky shodné, ovšem seznam v článku je místy podrobnější. Doplňky (z článku oproti knize) jsou zpravidla uvedeny na začátku odstavce kurzívou v závorkách, občas i v textu kurzívou, a týkají se zpravidla stavu nálezů - např. (Tied together.).

Seznam je (a asi dlouho zůstane) jen v angličtině, což se může zdát zbytečné duplikování části volně dostupné knihy. Nicméně zkontrolovaná textová verze této knihy není, pokud vím, nikde k dispozici. Existují volně dostupná "obrázková" PDF a jiné formáty, nicméně textové verze vzniklé pomocí OCR vždy obsahují větší či menší množství "překlepů".
