a fascinating find!! I can't wait for the details to emerge from the deep...

Sir John Franklin, naval officer, Arctic explorer (born 16 April 1786 in Spilsby, England; died 11 June 1847 aboard HMS Erebus near King William Island, Nunavut). Franklin’s name is synonymous with Arctic exploration and the Northwest Passage. A respected naval officer and colonial governor, he was involved in several high-profile expeditions to the Canadian Arctic that mapped large stretches of unknown coastline. He is best known for leading the tragic 1845 expedition to find the Northwest Passage. All hands perished on that voyage, despite being close to discovering the elusive sea route through the Canadian north. The Franklin expedition remains one of the most enduring mysteries of Arctic exploration and Canadian history.

with the latest find of the terror it may be found that the ship was actually sailed 100 miles further than orgionally expected by a small crew that came back to the ship, if this can be proven they completed the passage without knowing it

Franklin headed an overland expedition, years before the disaster. he should have known then that the NW Passage was in fact, impassible.

This was a very well done interview... Thank-you for uploading this!

The broken ship further north is HMS Terror. The more southerly, wonderfully intact ship (which must have been sailed to its current location) is HMS Erebus.

Looking forward to seeing the log books. Any news on these yet?

Has any information been released regarding what was actually found on either ship?

Bravo!

Private funding ensures the wreck will end up in a museum sponsored by the funders..

Considering it is the jointly owned by Canada and indigenous peoples that would be more complicated.

Both ships are still owned by the Royal Navy

Yeah & no. They've been handed over to the Canadian authorities. The Royal Navy retains ultimate ownership, the Canadians are the official conservators & curators. It was all sorted out very politely as one would expect. Both nations said "Sorry!" afterwards.

Can someone explain what it has to do with Canadian history??? It was surely a English expedition..

This turned out to be Erebus. Terror was discovered 2 years later.

gloria commenting; artifacts? What artifacts???

They weren't lost at sea

Why Canada when it's the English that was trying to open the passage. No sign of any Canadians or there ships
