Unbelievable as it sounds, the ship from
Franklin's Lost Expedition
-which was lost with all hands more than 170 years ago- was recently found in Terror's Bay (a location which was named after the ill-fated ship long before the discovery of the wreckage).
This, combined with the fact that the
other ship
that took part of the ill-fated voyage had already been found in 2014, puts an end to one of the biggest maritime mysteries.
Here's a very interesting article about the whole thing:

I'm glad that they finally discover the wreckage. Maybe some of the unanswered questions of that doomed expedition may be answered.
