CANADA

CANADA: It was supposed to be a rescue. The HMS Investigator left England in 1850 to find the HMS Erebus and Terror, ships that had been seeking the fabled Northwest Passage. But in 1851, in Mercy Bay, the Investigator ran aground and was eventually trapped in pack ice and abandoned. A Canadian expedition has now found its remains—upright and intact under 33 feet of clear water. Like the crew of the Investigator, archaeologists are also seeking the other two ships.
