What's Going to Happen to Baby JANE? NAS 1 class held in Brockville
HMCS Terra Nova - sinking in 1000 Islands Word from DND is they sold the two sister ships (Terra Nova and Gatineau) for scrap iron after ~10 years of trying to sell them for a good cause. They have been decommissioned for years in Halifax. The EOARA president did not comment when asked about this news. So it looks like it might never happen thanks to Federal (DFO, the Surgeon issue - took a year to resolve) and Provincial government (MNR - change from 1 year to 50 year insurance policy, plus other items) for screwing up a good thing. This is the second time a venture like this has failed to bring a vessel to freshwater of the 1000 Islands as an artificial reef. Lost tourism, higher impact on heritage sites, lost revenue to local business and lost opportunity for sport divers. Another lose-lose scenario thanks to government bureaucracy. Keep this in mind on voting day! |

The use of U/W metal detectors or side-scan equipment is a form of surveying and may require a license to use them. Typically a license is required if you intentionally set out to search for something of historic or heritage value. In the case of a U/W metal detector, if you get a hit below the silt and dig for it, you've crossed the line. Looking for a lost wedding ring with a metal detector or a recently lost dive ladder with side-scan is a different situation. If you witness: anything being removed from a heritage site, or anything else marine heritage related like an anchor or ship part being removed from the water; or any damage or digging on a site; PLEASE ( it's your duty ) call Crime Stoppers or the OPP immediately !
OPP 1-888-310-1122 CRIME STOPPERS 1-800-222-TIPS Keep SOS in the loop - let us know too!

Diver impact has taken a toll on the Robert Gaskin in Brockville. Two large sections of starboard side planking and frames have fallen. One at the stern inward and the one pictured here at the bow outward. This site and many like her will never be the same. HELP S.O.S. SPREAD THE WORD
