History
Before heading to the Arctic for this year’s search for the lost Franklin ships, Parks Canada underwater archeologist Ryan Harris gave Canadian Geographic a sneak peek at the equipment divers would use if anything was found during the search. Now, with the discovery of one of the Franklin ships, divers are currently using this equipment to get their first look at the shipwreck that has remained underwater for more than 160 years. Watch the video to find out more about the equipment being used and how divers will communicate.
