After the return of John Rae, McClintock commanded the private expedition sponsored by Lady Franklin in 1857 to search for her husband and his crew, missing since 1845. This account details his thorough search of the area between the Boothia Peninsula and King William Island, and the final discovery of the Franklin relics, including the sole written record of the ill-fated expedition. McClintock returned to England in 1859 with the evidence of Franklin's death and the fate of the ships and their crew - this guaranteed his knighthood in the following year.
