Geocache Description:


Credit River - Shipwreck Series

Lily Dancey
 November 7, 1865



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.

Lily Dancey
The Lily Dancey was a two masted wooden schooner, built in 1856 in Marlton, Goderich, Ontario. The Lily Dancey was owned and operated by Dancey & Marlton, Goderich. She was a 120 ton vessel used to transport goods throughout ports on Lake Huron. The ship was also known as the Lillie Danay, but sailed as the Lily Dancey. On November 7, 1865, laden with grain in it’s hull, gale force winds drove her ashore between Port Elgin and Kinkardine where the vessel and it’s cargo were initially reported a total loss. There was no loss of life from the disaster. Her cargo was later recovered but the vessel was unsalvageable and broke up by Nov 27 of the same year.

Congratulations to the whytes & Mississauga Misfits on the FTF!!!
