A rare dagger-board schooner has been discovered in over 500 feet of water off the southern shore of Lake Ontario... Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville, shipwreck enthusiasts, located the schooner using deep towed side scan sonar equipment. Sailing vessels of this type were in use on the lakes for only a short period of time beginning in the very early 1800's. This ship is the only dagger-board schooner known to have been found in the Great Lakes.

I wanted to go to the shipwreck museum at Whitefish point when I was up there this summer but it was closed that day for some reason.
