A few years back a diver I know by the name of Joe ADAMS told me about a shipwreck. He said go into Port Colborne and follow Lakeshore road Westbound all the way to the end, then turn left on Golf Course Road - follow that road to the end and you will come to a beach In there is a shipwreck still with its cargo of pig iron sitting on the bottom. We followed the directions and arrived at the beach. We kitted up and went out onto the smelly old beach and found nothing but rocks. The depth was very, very shallow. No shipwreck was found. I ripped out the wrist seal on my dry suit taking it off. Catastophic post-dive drysuit failure.
