An archaeological investigation has been launched in Huron-Kinloss after parts of a 19th century shipwreck washed up on Point Clark Beach.
On May 25, a notice was sent to the township about the shipwreck. The Ontario Marine Heritage Committee and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry subsequently launched investigations to gain further information about the wreck.
Marine Archeologist Scarlett Januses is investigating wreckage and says she has found various pieces along the shoreline, but notes of one piece in particular that gave them an idea as to what the ship might have been.
