A well-preserved mid-1800s canal boat wreck in Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, lying in about 70 feet of water roughly half a mile offshore and two miles northwest of Aurora. The hull and deck are identifiable (covered in algae and mussels), with cargo-hold ports still defined, a large rudder attached to the stern, an intact bow, and coal still in the holds. A boat dive guided by local Finger Lakes operators.
