    In 1980 oceanographer Joseph MacInnis discovered the sunken wreck of a supply vessel from the ill-fated Franklin Expedition. What was the name of the ship?

    Question #84002. Asked by pmac41. (Jul 31 07 12:32 AM)

    Breadalbane - part of a search and rescue group under Sir Edward Belcher, she was holed by the ice and sunk off Beechey Island. It was found in 1983 by Joe MacInnis. Aside from the discrepancy with the date I think this is the ship you're looking for.

    The story is recounted in a page describing Beechey Island for Arctic cruises:
