(Discovery Journal) One of Canada's most enduring mysteries may have been solved with the discovery of a near intact shipwreck near Nunavut's King William Island. The wreck is believed to be one of the two Franklin Expedition ships lost in 1846 after being stuck in the ice.
Since 2008, Parks Canada has mounted six major searches in the Canadian Arctic, looking for any remains of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition. After almost 170 years, Parks Canada announced on September 7, that with the help of a remotely-operated underwater vehicle, one of the two ships lost in 1846 had possibly been found.
