The find is the second ship recovered from an ill-fated Arctic expedition some 170 years ago.
Explorers believe they may have discovered the long-lost second ship from the ill-fated Franklin expedition. The vessel, HMS Terror, vanished nearly 170 years ago with another ship, HMS Erebus, and a crew of 129 men during an Arctic expedition to search for the fabled Northwest Passage to Asia.
The Terror was found “in pristine condition at the bottom of an Arctic bay,” the British newspaper the Guardian reported Monday in an exclusive coverage.
