英语词汇franklin-s gull的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Franklin’s gull. Franklin’s gull, the only bird ever to have a monument erected to it, is intimately connected with English and American history. The black-headed gull was named in honor of Sir John Franklin (1786–1847), the English explorer who died in discovering the Northwest Passage that so many other mariners had striven to find. The story of his expedition and his wife’s later attempts to find him is one of the most inter- esting in maritime history. Franklin’s gull (Laridae pipixcan) has the same upland-breeding and seashore-wintering habits as the bonaparte’s gull. See also gull.
