Sailors from doomed Arctic mission with no survivors identified by DNA
Researchers at Canada's University of Waterloo have identified three HMS Erebus sailors—Able Seaman William Orren, cabin boy David Young, and steward John Bridgens—and one HMS Terror captain, Harry Peglar, using DNA testing, and have contacted over 130 living descendants across seven countries. Previously unseen artifacts from the HMS Erebus wreck, including an officer's boot and diningware, will go on display at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre starting June 8, 2026, marking the 200th anniversary of the ship's launch from the dockyard.
