King Horn

[scubagirl15]

I heard a rumour that some numb nut dropped an anchor on King Horn. Can anyone confirm? Please say it ain't so!!!

Ahh the yearly drop of the anchor on the Kinghorn, can't confirm it but sounds like the usual crap the operators down river pull every year, mostly due to impatience.
I wish most of you could have seen the Kinghorn the year they found it. Stoves on top, intact decks etc.

Wont be long before it becomes another Gaskin

Tom, do you have any pics of what the Kinghorn used to look like? Would be good to compare to the shape she's in today.

I didn't get on the Kinghorn til Oct of 2003 so any pics before that I would love to see. I also heard that the anchor used to be there but got stolen.

I actually have the survey footage, it's actually the wreck I used on diver impact on wrecks. I show the Kinghorn first time around then I show the footage we shot under the ice 2 winters ago.

I will dig the footage and rips some pics

Here is some pics from www.saveontarioshipwrecks.on.ca taken by Tim Legate a week after she was found.

Here are pics from a couple years later, this is not only diver impact mater of fact commercial diver operations are responsible for throwing the large anchors into the wreck, their own bread and butter.

I would -love- to see photos of the Gaskin pre-anchor damage. there is only a tiny section of deck left at the stern.
These poor wrecks.
at least the Kinghron is somewhat reinforced with steel structure, the Gaskin, we'll she's all wood and it don't stand a chance
Dive'em while they're still there

Dove it first in July 1996, back then the deck was whole, the pump straight and the stove was on the top deck. You'd go inside, and didn't get any help from the outside light, a torch was absolutely necessary.

We were back there last month.... Captain Ron McDonald, the man who discovered it, refused to dive it that day, he wants to remember what the wreck used to look like then.
