One summer day in 1995, a dive team set out on a mission to seek out what could be a lost ship. A friend of Spencer Shoniker gave him a set of coordinates and he gathered a group of trusted diving friends to check out what was lying at the bottom of the waterway. When his team found the boat, after much deliberation, they found the wreck of the Frontenac... not knowing the importance of the find until after they had spoken with a friend of Shoniker's who was passing by on his ship. Initially, Shoniker kept the wreck a private dive site for his own charter company but eventually gave in to the pressure from other dive companies to open the site up as a public dive.
This 89 foot wooden tug is a very special advanced dive site due to the artifacts that have been so carefully preserved. It has a fire extinguisher, plates, pots a bowl and a glass bowl. She also used to have a bell, but this has since been removed for safe-keeping.
