I felt compelled to search the origin of the name of the other ship, and found this:
"Erebus was one of the primordial deities in Greek mythology, born out of the primeval void, Chaos. It was the personification of the deep darkness and shadows. Erebus was the brother of Gaea (earth), Tartarus (underworld), Eros (love), and Nyx (night)."
Why? There is a Mt. Erebus in the Antarctic,with which an Air New Zealand DC10 became very familiar, years ago, due to a route planning error and resulting disaster.
The state of preservation of HMS Terror(no search needed) is truly amazing.
