The Canadian government is financing a renewed expedition to discover he wrecks of the Erebus and Terror, the ships used by Sir John Franklin during his ill-fated attempt to discover the Northwest Passage.
Details of the failed expedition can be found at Wikipedia. Strangely enough, the Inuit (eskimos) of that area have preserved an oral history of the expedition to this very day.
