OTTAWA - The Prime Minister's Office says one of the lost ships from Sir John Franklin's doomed Arctic expedition has been found.
The news comes a day after a team of archeologists found a tiny fragment from the expedition -- which they say is the first Franklin artifact found in modern times.
They discovered an iron fitting that once helped support a boat from one of the doomed expedition's ships in the King William Island search area.
The two ships of the Franklin Expedition disappeared during an 1845 quest for the Northwest Passage.
They were the subject of many searches throughout the 19th century, but the mystery of what happened to John Franklin and his men has never been solved.
The expedition has been the subject of songs, poems and novels ever since.
