TORONTO （AP） - One of two British explorer ships that
disappeared in the Arctic more 160 years ago has been found，
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Tuesday.
The HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were last seen in the late 1840s.
Canada announced in 2008 that it would search for the ships led by British Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin.
Harper， speaking in Ottawa， said it remains unclear which
ship has been found， but images show there＇s enough
information to confirm it＇s one of the pair.
Franklin and 128 hand-picked officers and men vanished on
an expedition begun in 1845 to find the fabled Northwest
Passage. Franklin＇s disappearance prompted one of history＇s
largest and longest rescue searches， from 1848 to 1859， which
resulted in the passage＇s discovery.
The route runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the
Arctic archipelago. European explorers sought the passage as a
shorter route to Asia， but found it rendered inhospitable by ice
and weather.
＂This is truly a historic moment for Canada，＂ said Harper，
who was beaming， uncharacteristically. ＂This has been a great
Canadian story and mystery and the subject of scientists，
historians， writers and singers so I think we really have an
important day in mapping the history of our country.＂
Harper＇s government began searching for Franklin＇s ships
as it looked to assert Canada＇s sovereignty over the Northwest
Passage， where melting Arctic ice has unlocked the very
shipping route Franklin was after.
The original search for the ships helped open up parts of the
Canadian Arctic for discovery back in the 1850s. Harper said the
ship was found Sunday using a remotely operated underwater
vehicle. The discovery comes shortly after a team of archeologists
found a tiny fragment from the Franklin expedition. Searchers
discovered an iron fitting that once helped support a boat from
one of the doomed expedition＇s ships in the King William Island
search area. Franklin＇s vessels are among the most sought-after prizes
in marine archaeology. Harper said the discovery would shed
light on what happened to Franklin＇s crew.
Tantalizing traces have been found over the years，
including the bodies of three crewmen discovered in the 1980s.
The bodies of two English seamen - John Hartnell， 25， and
Royal Marine William Braine， 33 - were exhumed in 1986. An
expedition uncovered the perfectly preserved remains of a petty
officer， John Torrington， 20， in an ice-filled coffin in 1984.
Experts believe the ships were lost in 1848 after they became
locked in the ice near King William Island and that the crews
abandoned them in a hopeless bid to reach safety.
The search for an Arctic passage to Asia frustrated explorers
for centuries， beginning with John Cabot＇s voyage in 1497.
Eventually it became clear that a passage did exist， but was too
far north for practical use. Cabot， the Italian-British explorer，
died in 1498 while trying to find it and the shortcut eluded other
famous explorers including Henry Hudson and Francis Drake. No
sea crossing was successful until Roald Amundsen of Norway
completed his trip from 1903-1906.

A dozen years ago， scientists at Cargill got the idea of
converting lactic acid made from corn into plastic while
examining possible new uses for materials produced from corn
wet milling processes. In the past， several efforts had been
made to develop plastics from lactic acid， but with limited
success. Achieving this technological breakthrough didn’t come
easily， but in time the efforts did succeed. A fermentation and
distillation process using com was designed to create a polymer
