| "Schooner G" (unknown)
LOCATION: Eastern Lake Erie off Barcelona, NY, USA LIES: Upright on mud bottom. CONDITION: Completely Intact. DEPTH: 150-165' [46-50m] TYPE: Two-masted Schooner. CARGO: ? DIMENSIONS (estimated): ~90' [27m] Length x ~20' [6m] beam. NOTES: · Photos on this page were posted September 13, 2008 and show the considerable impact that this site has felt from diving since the original post 3 years prior. · I am unaware of the full details, but the site is currently being excavated by a group that I understand to be in New York. · The roof planking has been removed from the cabin, and stacked neatly along the port side. Silt has been evacuated from the forward cabin area. · Excavation (perhaps erosion) is also apparent around the hull of the vessel at the mud line. The deck silt has been removed, and mussels have been clean from numerous areas. · The aft cabin remains silted in. A chair or table leg, once located here, has been relocated to the transom, just aft of the tiller post. · I can only hope that this work is being conducted under the supervision of a licensed archeologist and would be interested to know the permit number in order to follow up on any findings. |
