==HMS ''Investigator''==
In September 1851, Captain Robert McClure's ship, became ice trapped in Mercy Bay during his search for the Northwest Passage and the lost Sir John Franklin Expedition. By 1853, it was finally abandoned in the bay. The crew sledged over ice to Melville Island, where they were rescued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=European exploration )〕
In July 2010, Parks Canada archeologists looking for the HMS ''Investigator'' found it fifteen-minutes after they started a sonar scan of Banks Island, Mercy Bay, Northwest Territories. The archeology crew has no plans to raise the ship. They will do a thorough sonar scan of the area, then send a remotely operated vehicle. The Canadian archaeologists found the ship "largely intact" sitting upright in approximately 25 feet of pristine arctic water.
