Actually, this isn't one of my favorites -- although I still get chills when I remember what the live performance of it was like.

Kogvik took photo with ship's mast 6 years ago, but when he lost his camera, he kept quiet about it.
The Nunavut man who led the Arctic Research Foundation to the wreck of HMS Terror says he never talked about the find six years ago, because he wasn't sure people would believe him.
It was the account that Gjoa Haven's Sammy Kogvik gave his "boss" — expedition leader Adrian Schimnowski — about the mast he saw sticking out of the water that led to the discovery of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated ship HMS Terror, found earlier this month in the aptly named Terror Bay.
Sir John Franklin's long-lost HMS Terror believed found
"I didn't know if he would believe me," Kogvik, whose first language is Inuktitut, told CBC this week.

Once again, another CBC story with no commenting because it involves indigenous people... A popular theory... The Franklin crew ate each other and froze to death. My theory... The Inuit (formerly referred to as Eskimos) ate them and plundered their ships. Consider the locations where the vessels were located as apposed to where they were abandoned. Those ships moved somehow and HMS Terror is completely intact.
Will be interesting what they find in the cargo hold....................
Please ping me on your Canada posts when you think of it. Your observations are astute and valued.
“That’s when the Martin Bergmann research vessel took a detour to Terror Bay. “
*******************
If I was looking to find a ship named “TERROR” I would have started at the bay named after it.
Could be 4 lost to polar bears, then the last survivors left to seek ANYTHING ANYWHERE safer. Where they could eat, and not be eaten.
Had a polar ice camera flipped over in the middle of the arctic ice 18 months ago, many hundred kilometers from land. Those critters will go a long ways to find food.
