About HMS Investigator
HMS Investigator was a merchant ship purchased in 1848 to search for Sir John Franklin's ill-fated Northwest Passage expedition. She made two voyages to the Arctic and had to be abandoned in 1853, after becoming trapped in the ice. Her wreckage was found in July 2010, off Banks Island in the Beaufort Sea.
