Geocache Description:


Credit River - Shipwreck Series

Fanny
June 22, 1838





There are many shipwrecks around the world. Some very famous and others not so. Each however has it’s own story to tell. As you travel along the Credit River doing this series of caches, we have highlighted a number of these shipwrecks. During low water levels on these parts of the Credit River, you need to be careful in a canoe or kayak so as you don’t wind up in your own shipwreck. Besides the many large rocks along the way, there are also some other obstacles such as dams which should be avoided. All of the geocaches in this series have been placed by tubing, inflatable boat or on foot by walking in the water along the Credit River. Whichever way you choose to search for these caches, use caution and common sense.
More information about this series can be found here: Credit River - Shipwreck Series


Fanny
The Fanny was a 23 ton wooden schooner that was blown ashore near Cape Jaffa, Kingston District Council in South Australia. Coincidentally, there was also another schooner called Fanny that met a similar fate near Port Credit, Ontario in the same year. Moral of the story, some Fannies don't float!
