They confirmed which ship they found:
Quote:
OTTAWA — The shipwreck found in the Arctic has been identified as HMS Erebus, the vessel on which Sir John Franklin himself sailed — and may even have perished — in search of the Northwest Passage in 1845.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who took obvious delight last month in delivering news of the discovery of the ship from Franklin’s doomed voyage, revealed Wednesday just which of the two it is.
“I’m delighted to confirm that we have identified which ship from the Franklin expedition has been found,” Harper told the House of Commons.
“It is, in fact, the HMS Erebus.”
