"Lost Shipwreck Reveals Guns and Coins from 2 Centuries Ago off Canadian Coast"

Divers exploring the wreck of the HMS Erebus, which sank nearly two centuries ago during the Franklin Expedition, have discovered a variety of artifacts including pistols, coins, and intact items such as a thermometer and medicinal bottles. The underwater archaeologists also captured high-resolution photos to produce 3-D models of the wreck, and conducted remote sensing of the nearby wreck of HMS Terror. The artifacts will undergo conservation treatment before being displayed at the Nattilik Heritage Centre in Nunavut, and the discoveries are shedding light on the mysterious events of the Franklin Expedition.
