Delete when applicable; my bet is that it’s the Erebus as Inuit accounts put the Terror further south.
But I’m getting ahead of myself, a ship from Sir John Franklin’s doomed 1845 Arctic expedition has been found. It’s in one piece and reasonably intact.
What would it take to raise the ship and preserve it for display, after more than a century and a half underwater?
Personally I don’t think they should, but should and could are different questions and the question has been raised;
‘Asked whether Parks Canada would raise the ship, Bernier didn’t dismiss the possibility, but said it would be very difficult and expensive. Parks Canada generally prefers to leave wrecks where they are, to grant them their proper historical context.’
I’m not sure it should be done.
The ship itself was not of massive historic interest and isn’t really iconic (though of course the mission was). It isn’t as if we have a shortage of ships from that era so I say explore it in situ, retrieve artefacts to find out what happened but otherwise leave it be.
