August 13, 2012—Last month, during routine functional performance testing of the mutibeam mapping echosounders on the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s flagship R/V Falkor, the team aboard—including researchers from the University of New Hampshire, Ifremer, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution—discovered the S.S. Terra Nova, a whaler, sealer and polar exploration ship that sunk off the southern coast of Greenland in September, 1943, after being damaged by ice.

Pretty neat, too bad it wasnt discovered still floating trapped in ice flow. I love reading about the boats discovered still floating around after decades on the sea.Real "bermuda triangle" type stuff in a modern age.
