Our old shipmate Hannah Haverkamp returns to regale us with the historical inspiration behind the costumes of The Terror! For all your age of sail, nautical, polar exploration, Victorian, historical-fiction-with-a-supernatural-twist needs. Featuring Royal Navy uniforms (and their lack of uniformity), Inuit engineering, and the thematic tragedy of Carnivale.
