Ryan Harris, the Parks Canada marine archeologist who led the ship's search, describes the discovery of the Franklin ship to Prime Minister Stephan Harper. He says both the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, appear in the Inuit oral tradition. The Inuit, however, provided a more detailed description of one ship said to have been found south of King William Island off Grant Point on the Adelaide Peninsula in an area known as Ootloo-lik "the place of the bearded seal."
