Three decades after researchers found John Torrington's burial site, they finally found the two ships on which he and his crewmates had traveled.
When the Erebus was discovered in 36 feet of water off King William Island in 2014, it had been 169 years since it set sail. Two years later, the Terror was discovered in a bay 45 miles away in 80 feet of water, in an astounding state after nearly 200 years underwater.
