Parks Canada searchers were still scouring Arctic waters for the long-lost HMS Terror more than a week after the wreck was found by their private counterparts. The Arctic Research Foundation’s announcement that it had found the historic wreck reached news media across Canada Sept. 12. Parks Canada said Monday that’s almost the same time its own searchers in the Arctic first heard of the remarkable find. It has been going on every summer for years and involves Parks Canada, the Coast Guard, Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Ice Service. Parks Canada says the week it spent looking at the wrong part of the ocean will at least provide useful information for navigation.
