FRANKLIN DIVERS TO FOCUS ON EREBUS’S LIVING QUARTERS

-

Canadian archeologi­sts are set to spend two weeks exploring the wreck of HMS Erebus in an attempt to uncover even more secrets from the ill-fated Franklin expedition. The ship, along with HMS Terror, disappeare­d during an exploratio­n through the Arctic in 1846. Inuit guides helped Parks Canada archeologi­sts find the Erebus in 2014, and the Terror was found two years later. Archeologi­sts are aiming to recover artifacts from the Erebus’s living quarters. Officials hope the cabins might hold ships’ logs or captain’s records.
