I think it is a great story, have enjoyed reading about it for years. I would have been thrilled to be involved in finding one of the ships.
If anyone is interested in historical fiction and or the author Dan Simmons, I would reccomend his book "The Terror"
Not for everyone I am sure, but I enjoyed his take on what might have befallen the crews.
Bottom line for me was that if the rigid British crew had trusted the Inuit or asked for help, many would likely have survived.
