Fabled Franklin Arctic ship found

One of two British explorer ships that vanished in the Arctic more than 160 years ago has been found, Canada's prime minister says.

Stephen Harper said it was unclear which ship had been found, but photo evidence confirmed it was one of them.

Sir John Franklin led the two ships and 129 men in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic.

The expedition's disappearance shortly after became one of the great mysteries of the age of Victorian exploration.

The loss of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror prompted one of largest searches in history, running from 1848 to 1859.

(continued, no survivors even amongst the explorers who mated with local seal populations....)
