From another list: --------- On July 22, 2001, Ryan Leblanc, the President of the Superior Chapter of Save Ontario Shipwrecks, found a shipwreck graveyard of between 26 and 30 shipwrecks deliberately sunk in the 1930�s just a few miles from the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The wrecks include the first vessel registered by the Dominion of Canada, the 1867 tugboat Mary Ann, and the Druid a paddleboat from the American Civil War. The wrecks are located in a one square mile in approximately 250� of water. There are no plans to recover the ships or any artifacts. Leblanc has said �As long as I�m co-ordinating the project, we won�t be removing any artifacts. That�s part of the heritage and that�s where it should remain.� This is an incredible find, and may turn Thunder Bay into a mecca for technical diving.
