Great stuff.
''A musket and other artifacts from HMS Investigator, the ship abandoned in the Canadian Arctic in 1854 during the hunt for Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, have been recovered by divers. The ship is credited with discovering the Northwest Passage.''
The mummified body of one of Franklin's sailors was found recently. John Torrington was buried in a lead coffin after he died from tuberculosis early in the expedition
