In 1845, explorer Sir John Franklin set sail from England with two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, in search of a Northwest Passage across what is now Canada's Arctic. The ships and crews vanished and dozens of search expeditions set sail to try to find them.... A second breakthrough happened in September 2016, when HMS Terror was found in Terror Bay, further north. 3, record 1, English, - Her%20Majesty%26rsquo%3Bs%20Ship%20Terror
