During the events of The Terror: Season 1 Episode 1 Go for Broke played by Freddie Greaves

Henry Collins gives orders to Strong on training another seaman. At the crew dinner, Strong is eating with Cornelius Hickey, Thomas Evans, Robert Golding, and David Young. Hickey and the others argue what rank the ship's dog, Neptune has. Young starts to cough up blood and Golding calls for a doctor, but eventually dies. Strong tells Thomas Hartnell and Sgt. Solomon Tozer that Neptune has been barking all night and Hartnell thinks he hears something. Hartnell borrows a spyglass from Tozer and then tells him to wake up Thomas Blanky. John Franklin gives a speech to the crew about how they will soon accomplish their journey. Six days later, both ships are stuck in the ice and the next morning they wake up to be surrounded by continuous ice.
