black cloth, gilt spine, 149 pages : colour illustrations ; 27 cm.,In 1850, HMS Investigator was sent to search for the lost Franklin expedition. The explorers failed in that mission, but succeeded in locating the final link of the Northwest Passage route that Franklin had been seeking. After multiple setbacks and facing death by starvation and scurvy, the crew was rescued by a Royal Navy sledge team from HMS Resolute, and the ship was abandoned in Mercy Bay. In 2010 Parks Canada sent a team of underwater archaeologists to locate the wreck. They found it!
