did anybody else watch that AMC anthology series "The Terror". the first season is a fictional/dramatic account if an ill fated voyage in the 1840s to find the northwest passage which failed and i think has only been partially recovered in recent years.
anyway, it had two ships full of dudes trying to penetrate an environment extremely hostile to human life: darkness that can last for weeks, extreme cold.
what do they name their ships, literally IRL:
HMS Terror (wtf) HMS Erebus (the greek god/personification of "darkness", sometimes thought to be a son of Chaos or Time, depending on the author).
im not superstitious, but GREAT WORK, GUYS.
