There ...Thank you very much Russell for mention me! There wasn´t really need for it. I just found that piece of article and decided to share it. <br /><br />I had on some corner of my mind the idea that some sort of magnetic anomaly had been detected somewhere in the proximity of King WIlliam Island, but surely this correspond with the Woodman´s research.<br /><br />Perhaps the anomaly detected in 1965 could correspond to the barge which is mentioned in the Irish-Canadian Franklin Search expedition of 2004:<br /><br />"The only other shipwreck incident reported in the area is a barge that sank in 1926 to the west of O’Reilly Island (Woodman 2003: 8).[14] Although probably an old sailing vessel, identifying the remains of this barge in contrast to a bomb vessel should be straightforward with visual access. It is generally thought that because Terror and Erebus were ships of the same type they were, therefore, practically identical, especially after their refits for polar service. This would make identification between these two vessels difficult."<br /><br />Report which of course you can find here in your own site:<br /><br />http://www.ric.edu/faculty/rpotter/woodman/2004_Field_Report_short.htm<br /><br />It is also curious to note how it is predicted in this paragraph how difficult would be the identification of the vessels in the case of being found.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.com
