Talk:HMS Terror (1813)

Removing category

They just found what appears to be the wreck (check the front page) So is it ok for me to remove it from the missing ships category?layla 14:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Layla, the remover (talk • contribs)

I do not see why not. Found is found.TH1980 (talk) 17:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Position?

The article claims HMS Terror was found at position 68°54′13″N 98°56′18″W. May I ask for the source of this claim? No cited source states its position in terms of langitude and longitude. --Radouch (talk) 13:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

I saw that as being the location Terror Bay rather the ship. I tied to make it clearer. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hoisting screw

Erebus and Terror had screws that could be pulled out of the water for protection against the ice, similar to here:

Discovery of the wreckage

I might re-write this section with events in chronological order. From inuit accounts of a silhouette of the ships mast being seen at sunset from the shore, sightings from aircraft and the visit to the site by Sammy Kogvik and "Uncle James". One web page quotes Adrian Schimnowski, (the RV Martin Bergmann ship’s director), "The credit for the Terror find rests with Kogvik, Schimnowski said, and all the Inuit testimony gathered over generations that correctly identified the locations of the Terror and Erebus." On another web page Kogvik said, "Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don't listen to people," Kogvik is also reported as saying "They (people from the South) just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship." I think it would be more accurate to say the Arctic Research Foundation team didn't find the Terror, they just confirmed its location to the wider World.81.131.132.199 (talk) 17:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
