Francis Crozier blue plaque — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Avonmore House in County Down carries a blue plaque naming Francis Crozier as discoverer of the North West Passage. That claim belongs to legend more than law, for Crozier vanished during the Terror Expedition and never returned to prove the route his own name still claims. The plaque turns a lost man into a local fixture, inviting visitors to wonder whether house walls remembered the journey or merely borrowed his absence.

This blue commemorative plaque records: Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier Discoverer of the North West Passage 1796-1848 lived here.

Francis Crozier was a British naval officer and Arctic explorer who served as second in command during the ill-fated Franklin Expedition, which aimed to navigate the Northwest Passage. His efforts contributed significantly to the mapping of the Canadian Arctic, though he perished along with his crew during this expedition.
