The Liquid Archaeology gang will all be there as members Chris Phinney and Bryan Thomas take to the stage. They will share the history and current condition of the wreck Southern Trail.
A 5 year odyssey in research, interviews and surveying, this wreck still produces surprises. If you think you know this wreck you may be surprised.
Watch the trailer and ask yourself; “A rag trader? The inventor of the pull out sofa? Four guys from Liverpool? What does that have to do with a shipwreck in Canada?”.
It’s that time of year again. Lots of training dives.
I got together with Chris Farrell for a little dive and to video eachother’s trim.
Video turned out good and showed us what we needed to see. Great analysis tool.
On a recent camping trip to Algonquin Park , one rainy afternoon we boarded the van and drove to the Algonquin Logging museum. Walking the trail, admiring an old tree farmer much like the one I had hot wired in my youth, all manners of axs and chainsaw and after seeing the bunkhouse quite thankful I wasnt a 19th century logger, we rounded a corner by the log dam and perched on the embankment was a paddlewheeler like no other I’d ever seen.
A group from Liquid Archaeology was invited by SOS Toronto to visit the schooner barge Sligo. The goal for the night? To complete a set of measurements for SOS Toronto’s wreck monitoring program. The winds were out of the south west which is not good for this site. With over 50 km of open lake for the wind to blow across there is a lot of wave potential.
