Explore the Depths of Lake Ontario’s Maritime Heritage
May 28 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT
Join NOAA virtually to explore never-before-seen shipwrecks in Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. During the expedition, NOAA scientists and partners will deploy a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) outfitted with a high-definition camera and other technologies to survey and document the sanctuary’s shipwrecks.
Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary celebrates the region’s maritime cultural history and provides new opportunities for research, education, recreation, and maritime heritage-related tourism in local coastal communities and the broader Great Lakes region. Within the sanctuary, there are 41 known historically significant shipwrecks and 1 aircraft, and 19 potential shipwrecks and 3 potential aircraft not yet located. The survey will map up to 10 targeted shipwrecks in the sanctuary.
