HMS Investigator was apparently searching for the Northwest passage when it was abandoned. It seems its in very good condition. I just hope no giant robot menaces were found with it. |

That is cool as all hell. Did they find a meerschaum pipe perchance? |

OK, I'm completely clueless on all the references. Damn my lack of popular cultural references! But things like this just thrill the **** out me. thanks for the heads up. Wow, this is funny; it only took them 15 minutes to find the damn thing, once they started looking, according to Wikipedia: Quote: The team arrived on Banks Island in the Beaufort Sea on 22 July and began a sonar scan of the area three days later. The ship was detected in the scan 15 minutes later. "OK, we're done, let's go for a beer. Down in Ottawa or something." |

The movie "National Treasure" Aethien--they find a ship frozen in the ice (the Charlotte) and it has a pipe that has clues to the rest of the treasure |

Aethien, the giant robot menaces is a reference to the first Bay-directed Transformers movie, in which an arctic explorer whose ship ran aground stumbled upon Megatron frozen in to the ice. The meerschaum pipe is a reference to National Treasure, in which a pipe found in the preserved wreck of an arctic-bound colonial-era ship had a clue that helped track the lost Masonic treasure hoard. |

National Treasure is a suprisingly good movie. I had low hopes and ended up loving it. (Still think Riley is the guy who makes this movie though) |

(Still think Riley is the guy who makes this movie though) Agreed (except the Riley thing, all four of the main characters contributed very well). I would also add that the sequel was pretty damn good too. |
