Who discovered the North-west passage John Rae or John Franklin?
John Rae. He discovered Rae Strait, which was the last link to the NW Passage. Franklin on the other hand died many miles from the passage and never discovered it. The reason some people think Franklin did is because Lady Franklin spread false info to try and make her husband a hero and distort history. For more info watch the NFB film Passage or read Ken McGoogan's book Fatal Passage.
