After 62 years of searching, the ship that led Sir Ernest Shackleton on his final voyage has been found.
Using sonar equipment, a team led by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society discovered the schooner-rigged steamship Quest, 1,279 feet beneath the Labrador Sea. For decades, the location of the wreck had been unknown. It was last seen in the spring of 1962 when the ship struck an iceberg.
