Geocache Description:


Credit River - Shipwreck Series

HMS Toronto
1811 (exact date unknown)





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.

SS Toronto
HMS Toronto was a schooner of the Royal Navy, built by John Dennis (not the Naval Shipyards, York (Upper Canada)) at Humber River and Bloor Street in Toronto in August 1799. Armed with four cannons, the ship was built to ferry government officials from York (Toronto) to Upper Canada's former capital of Newark (Niagara on the Lake). The ship's career was short, she was wrecked in 1811 off Hanlan's Point and was broken up.
