Lake Ontario Visit & Ship wreck. After seeing Niagara Falls, we came to check out a little spot on the side of Lake Ontario that we saw on the way. All kinds of interesting stuff to see. Don't see a ship wreck every day. Got to show off my rock skipping skills while enjoying a beautiful sunset.

My friend Darryle from 2 Gringos on the Gulf found the link for the drone YouTube I mentioned at 3:05 - Lion of Judah video of view the from above.

The ship:
"La Grande Hermine, a reproduction of one of Jacques Cartier’s ships from his 1535 exploration, tells a remarkable tale if only it could speak. This majestic vessel, measuring 140 feet in length, is the largest of the trio that ventured the waters of the St. Lawrence River.
Originally built in 1914 in Quebec, it began its journey as a ferry on the St. Lawrence before transforming into a cargo ship and later a floating restaurant. The ship’s life took a fascinating twist in 1991 when it was converted into a replica of its former self.
In 1997, it reached Jordan Harbour, destined for an exciting new role as either a restaurant or a casino, the details varying in different accounts. Tragically, the businessman behind this vision passed away before seeing it come to life, waiting for permission and struggling with the funds to bring it to Niagara Falls. The ship remained docked at Jordan Harbour.
In January 2003, a devastating arson fire scarred La Grande Hermine, though it miraculously survived, its slightly damaged and ‘rustic’ appearance adding character to photographs and deepening the intrigue surrounding this enigmatic shipwreck. The ship’s past is etched in its timeworn planks, and its presence continues to captivate travelers on the journey through Niagara."

Check out the links below about this ship! Quite a bit of history, too bad it was burned where it sits.
