In Lake Erie, twelve miles out from Dunkirk and 90 feet below the surface, rests the two-masted schooner CARLINGFORD. This wooden vessel sank after colliding with the steel steamer Brunswick on Nov. 12, 1888. Only recently discovered, the CARLINGFORD sits upright in pristine condition. Divers marvel at this rare site. Seaman`s tools are still scattered about her deck. Dead-eyes, blocks, rails, and other implements remain untouched. Her massive, wooden stock anchor is still in place. Brought to you by Ontario Underwater Council: http://www.underwatercouncil.com/
