Congratulations to Terryer for the FTF! Welcome to my first underwater hide. This cache is located at the posted coords. Due to the fact that a GPS doesn't work very well under water, Once you find the wreck head to the stern. The Juno It is pretty difficult to imagine that a wreck can be that close to your backyard. Located at Bowmanville in Lake Ontario, Juno lies in about 10-13 ft of water. The Juno lies in about 100 ft from the shore. Unlike many wrecks that have been cleaned by mysterious divers The Juno still has some stuff left on it. This is due in part to the efforts of Save Ontario Shipwrecks and those little laws that make artifact removal illegal in Ontario. Some of the things you can still find on the bottom: pulleys and hooks, tool boxes and old square section nails in different sizes. The propeller his 8' in diameter and one of the four blades are buried in the sand. The other three blades are covered by zebra mussels. All pieces are in pretty good shape with nuts and bolts all over. It can give you a rough idea about how the ship looked like. Juno steam barge was 114' long, 27' wide, with a 9' draft and a gross weight of 209 tons. It was built in 1885 and rebuilt 11 years later when it was stretched by about 24' to be able to carry more gravel but has been in its current depth-enhanced location since 1915.
