There was an earlier excavation of some of the frozen corpses as well and they were taken to laboratories to be studied. After thawing some of the gut bacteria, some were still alive. One of the scientist was smart enough to experiment with how the old bacteria handled modern antibiotics. Strangely many already had resistance[1]. And this discovery was largely unreported.

It's cleared dramatically as the Arctic sea ice is melting. The wiki has satellite pics, it's pretty dramatic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Passage
Despite the obvious CO2/warming reasons, wouldn't these research vessels/cruise ships cause more ice melt as well? (Breaking up the ice causing faster melt)

The best part is that a local hunter found the boat six years ago. That's awesome.

I found the researcher herself, but none of her publications seem to be about this

Isn't there a cruise ship trying to make the northwest passage next year?

And based on this: https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/ It's already closed up again.

Keep in mind that modern antibiotics were created partly because at the time plants with antibiotic properties were being used so heavily that they were already becoming endangered. E.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldenseal

I tried hunting around online to find out how Terror Bay got its name after I saw this article on another site last night, but I couldn't find anything. Makes you kind of wonder whether the location of the wreck was known at some point, but nobody bothered to write it down.
