If the found ship is the HMS Terror, it will be a significant historical find for the United States as well as for Great Britain and Canada. The HMS Terror was one of the Royal Navy ships firing rockets at Fort McHenry in the Battle of Baltimore on September 13-14, 1814. The red glare and bursting bombs of the British Royal Navy inspired a Baltimore lawyer named Francis Scott Key to write a poem that eventually became known as "The Star-Spangled Banner." You may have heard Mr. Key's poem sung before a baseball game

Interesting, also from the article:

“Today, specially constructed ice-breaking ships can complete the Northwest Passage, but it is prohibitive to do so commercially.”

Thought Global Warming would have opened this sea lane up to about everyone. At least that is what Clive Clussler wrote.

That’s pretty spooky... for some weird reason I was fooling around on you tube this evening looking for math videos
and had a sudden inexplicable urge to see what was on there relating to the war of 1812, first thing I clicked on was the Battle of Baltimore.
