I find it exciting anyway.

One of the ships from the lost Arctic expedition has been found. It is not clear which one yet.

Jack the Ripper? This one is just as interesting.

Sir John Franklin's. The ship must be either HMS Erebus or HMS Terror

It's the Sir John Franklin expedition that was lost when looking for the north west passage

My grtx umpteen grandfather Joseph wood was the sail maker on HMS enterprise that went looking for them

Joseph died in 1855 from bronchitis probably from the extreme cold of the journey
