Canadian Yachting October 2016 - 59
Armed with the chart and some more information from
Cliff I set out to find my first real shipwreck. The trip was
not all that long but after about an hour of travel I entered the mouth of Meadow Bay and there to the south was
a small white dot. The wreck! Carefully navigating into
the bay I made my way to the site and soon found myself
face to face with history. The vessel was leaning over on
its starboard side and looking not at all like a derelict, but
it seemed to have a very satisfied look about it. I spent the
better part of an hour photographing it and was even able
to touch it!
The most amazing thing is that though made of wood,
the vessel is in such wonderful repair. This is no doubt because the framing and the hull planking are all made of
the rot resistant tropical wood. So now each year when I
return to Lake Nipissing I always make sure that one of my
boating trips is to check up on the my very first wreck. It is
still there and seems to be just waiting for me.

THE PORT HOLE
very sturdy, seaworthy and as it had a very shallow draft it
was able to access many of the more remote sites on the
lake. By the mid 1970s Lake Nipissing was becoming very
well known not only for its fishing but also for its big game
hunting and large numbers of Americans began travelling
north to participate in the fall animal hunts. Shwackhammer welcomed the business and provided transport not
only by water to the hunters but also by land! By using
the new multi-wheeled Canadian Argo machines he could
now move more people and bring in supplies to many of
the hunting camps that were located away from the water's
edge. Life was good and business was booming.
However, in the fall of 1977 on a return trip from one of
the more remote camps Shwackhammer suffered a heart
attack and died on the trail, and his boat, now without a
captain or owner, froze in water and sank to the bottom
the following spring. The boat had been left tied up to the
shore in some very shallow water so when it finally touched
bottom, most of the vessel was still out of the water! There
the vessel sat for all to come and see, if you could find it.
So the next year with my local charts in hand I set off to
find the wreck. Now the local chart was full of information but the infamous "wreck" symbol was not to be seen!
