Doomed 1845 Ship: Lost In Arctic, Found By Canada After Nearly 170 Years, Canada Taking Ownership Of Northwest Passage?

Since a 1497 expedition where John Cabot died in search of the pass to Asia, European explorers have been frustrated. The first successful voyage was completed in 1906 by Roald Amundsen of Norway.

Doomed 1845 ship was found because of several factors including previous Inuit testimony, past modeling of ice patterns by the Canadian Ice Service, and measurements of the two lost vessels.
