Expedition seeks lost Battle of Hudson Bay ships

A search is set to begin in northern Manitoba this month for two ships that were lost in the Battle of Hudson Bay, a little-known but significant northern conflict from 1697.

A team of explorers with the Fara Heim Foundation is preparing to travel to where the Hayes River meets Hudson Bay to search for British and French warships that were lost more than three centuries ago.
