One of Sir Franklin's ships found

Anyone else seen this? Looks like enough ice has melted that they finally located part of his doomed expedition. It's making me want to go read The Terror again, at least the first 3/4, before it kind of goes off the rails.

Here's a link, for the interested: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29131757

I am so excited about this I can't even put it into words. Too bad it's likely to get overshadowed by the newest idiot claiming he proved who jack the ripper was.

But the fact we've found one of the ships, with a number of bodies still intact, is a great near-past archaeological find.

I'm looking forward to each nugget of info they give us over the coming weeks, and listening to "Northwest Passage" on endless repeat.

Oh man my mind went straight to ships in the fandom sense. Oops.

That would be amazing. "Upon discovering a cache of ribald stories penned in his own hand, we've determined which pairings Sir Franklin preferred from the literature of his day."

Oh god, now I'm imagining him shipping Frankenstein and his monster, though that's a little bit old. I don't know enough Dickens to pick characters from that.

Pish posh.

Forget Dickens.

Franklin was all about Lady Audley/Aurora Floyd cracktastic crossovers.

That's pretty cracktastic, given that he'd have to have been a time traveler to read them.

Have you read "The Man Who Ate His Boots"? It's my favorite book on that expedition.

Thanks for the link. :)
