Join Jim Kennard as he looks at five steamships lost off the southern shore of Lake Ontario between 1862 and 1926. These steamships have been discovered by Jim's shipwreck exploration team during the past ten years. We will hear about Bay State, the steamer, built in 1852 and the oldest propeller drive steamer to have been discovered (2015) so far in Lake Ontario; the only two steel steamers, Roberval (1916) and Nesbit Grammer (1926) lost in Lake Ontario; the mid-lake burning of the steamer Samuel Hodge; and the destruction of the Homer Warren by a fierce northwest gale.
