# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Sailor’s Dream – An Irish Connection
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Sir John Franklin set out in 1845 with the two best ships of the Royal Navy and 129 crew on a mission to discover the Northwest Passage, a sea route from Europe to Asia between the Arctic and the Canadian mainland. They disappeared without trace.

Not a single survivor returned to tell what happened. Driven by the persistence of Franklin’s indomitable wife, search parties gathered fragments of evidence, but not enough to give a satisfactory explanation of what happened.

The Irish involvement in the expedition and the search was considerable and fascinating. Today a dedicated Irishman continues to search for Franklin’s grave, the last chance to throw light on his fate.

Through story and song, history and speculation, Jack Harte brings this intriguing episode of polar exploration to life again and takes the audience on its own voyage of exploration, especially into the enigma of Lady Jane Franklin.
