shipwrecks of Whitefish Bay

Unread post by rhilderley »

A steamer boiler can be seen protruding from the sands,on the north east shore of Parisienne Island, with other scraps of an old wreck,that is amidst the rocks along the point on the Northeast corner of the Island. Are these, just debris from the Samuel Mathur?
Also,on the west shore of the South Sandy Island,off Batchewana Bay, the
outline of ribs and keel of a wooden ship approx. 75 to 80 feet long. It's quite clear from about 500 feet above. Flew over that area many times up until 20 years ago. Is it a wreck that has been identified?
