On the evening of October 31st 1780 - Halloween! - the 22-gun British man-of-war Ontario was struck by a ferocious line squall and sank with all her 130 men. It remains the worst shipwreck in the lake's history.

She was discovered on May 24th 2008 by Dan Scoville and Jim Kennard, using an adaptation of the sonar technology invented to find U-boats. Come and hear Jim Kennard himself tell the whole story, his presentation illustrated by astonishing video footage!
