sir John Franklin ship found

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/12/hms-terror-wreck-found-arctic-nearly-170-years-northwest-passage-attempt

The long-lost ship of British polar explorer Sir John Franklin, HMS Terror, has been found in pristine condition at the bottom of an Arctic bay, researchers have said, in a discovery that challenges the accepted history behind one of polar exploration’s deepest mysteries.

well done..... beautiful rendition of one of the great Canadian songs. ust Watched a video made by the crew of the vessel doing the search /exploration and they had that song playing from start to finish. It's very eery looking at the wheel of the ship.

Now they just need to find his body - supposedly in a well done grave - and thats the end of that.

I always find discoveries like this to be very interesting.

The Titanic exhibit in Vegas was amazing.. it would be awesome to do the same for this.  Maybe change the human rights museum to more of a Canadian history museum and have this as an attraction.

I don't disagree. I'll go to the Manitoba Museum rather than the Museum of Human Rights 

The Titanic exhibit in Wpg was one of the best displays I've ever seen 

They've raised ships in worse shape.

If you ever get a chance to see the one in Vegas (if it's still there)  it's truly amazing.  They have a massive chunk of the ship in one room,  I'd say about 15 feet high and 30 feet long... it's super eerie.

 all hatches were closed. Glass windows still intact and installed.

One of the scientists said it would probably float, if raised and pumped out.

Sounds expensive..... but it would be an awesome event if they did it.

OMG GET OUT OF THERE!!!  Don't people know the Flying Dutchman when they see it!?!?

If they came that way, it was later when there was actual plant life. The Inuit, for example, were the last group to migrate, which is why they could survive in the North

I don't think they should discount the idea that human life evolved on this continent. However, you can't ignore the similarities to Asian DNA 

There are those who think the Chinese were up and down the west coast of the Americas.

"Evolved"?  Evolution is a lie perpetrated by left-wing mainstream liberal media

Just like climate change and immunization

It's funny how long it was accepted that human life began in Africa and people spread from there - no other possibilities considered
