1/2 Mystery SOLVED! One Franklin expedition ship found in Arctic.

[RogueWarrior]

Nautical mysteries are like catnip to a cat for me.

It is looking like the Inuit stories that were discounted because they were Inuit stories were true after all.

And random chance once again plays a role in a discovery.

"To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea..."

Well Stan... we found it.

If it was found using just private money (which it wasn't, I believe)...fantastic.

If it was found using taxpayer's money...a colossal waste of of the public's money.

What's next? The Canadian government mounts an expedition to find Wayne Gretzky's first pair of skates?


If the public want it SO much, let them pay for it.

If they don't, why do it?


The question is rhetorical...I am not the least bit interested in someone's ridiculous reason/justification for ANY public funding of this expedition.

You weren't even interested enough to find out whether or not it was publicly funded in the first place. Why the hell even bother to post?

It was an accidental discovery during a mapping mission. They were not specifically looking for either ship.
