I am looking for information on specific wrecks and am very interested in any information available.
Duncan City lost off Garden Island Lake Michigan ca 1884 (built under the name J. Heisman in 1852 and from about 1856 to 1873 known as John Rae)
Helen Mar 38 ton schooner know in existance in 1851 out of Hamilton Ontario
Andrew Stevens built in ca 1855 by White in Hamilton Ont.
P.E. Young, schooner scow blown up in Toronto Harbour ca 1900
Belvidere another small schooner about 29 ton known out of Hamilton Harbour in 1866.
Anges known out of Wellington Square (Burlington) in 1861.
Baltic, wrecked on shore at Oswego ca 1894.
If anyone can give any details on any of the above ships it would be greatly appreciated. Of greatest interest is the Duncan City (John Rae) in Lake Michigan. If there are divers out there who have seen the wreck I would love to hear from you.
