Saturday morning. Jim Herbert of Osprey Dive Charters took my wife Barbara, myself and Jeff Thompson on a quick run around Lake Erie's Eastern Basin. 60 nautical miles in 4.5 hours and we managed to raise the moorings on the Niagara, George Finnie, Carlingford, J.D.McGrath and the Acme.
The first four are all in Canadian waters and have the Orange/white conical mooring buoys installed. The Acme just has a white bleach bottle. The buoyed wrecks also have the pulley tag line system running from the blocks to the wrecks. The Carlingfords tag line needs replacing but we didn't have time as Jim had to get back for an afternoon charter. The block is only about 10' off the wreck however so finding the wreck is not a problem. We'll replace the trag line on our next run out.
Co-ordinates and other info for these and other Lake Erie Shipwrecks can be found on the Lake Erie (Eastern basin) Mooing project page attached to the NDA web site at http://www.vaxxine.com/nda
