It's a nineteenth C. ship discovered in the arctic under ice, and
documented in some of the same ways they did the "Titanic," only
earlier. It's the subject of a MacLelland and Stewart book (that's the
publisher -- forget the author, or the true title), and a documentary.
It's eerily pristine -- a little like those bodies of sailors they
exhumed from the Franklin expedition.

I like the story of the [something] light, which still supposedly
appears yearly off the coast of Labrador. It was a ship that caught on
fire, and if you look closely at the light, it is said you can see
figures jumping off the burning ship. Then there was the Seven Hunters
lighthouse, which would make a good movie, if it already hasn't been
done.
