The wreck of the last ship belonging to Sir Ernest Shackleton, a famous Irish-born British explorer of Antarctica, has been found off the coast of Labrador in Canada, 62 years after it went missing.

The wreck was found by an international team led by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The ship was found using sonar scans on Sunday evening, sitting on its keel under 390 meters of churning, frigid water, the society said.
