3D Model Release
Northern Light Model Added – A Collaboration with Shotline Diving
We are thrilled to announce the addition of our first contributed Lake Ontario shipwreck model from our newest partner, Dan Gildea of Shotline Diving!
The 65-ft (19.8 m) Daggerboard Schooner Northern Light was built in 1899 in Chaumont, NY. Originally a working vessel, it transported hay, gravel, and seed to ports across eastern Lake Ontario.
Its fate was sealed in 1915, when it broke loose from its moorings while loading gravel at Calf Island. The schooner stranded on a shoal off Galloo Island, where it remained for a year before another storm dragged it loose again, sending it to the bottom of the harbor.
This incredible 3D model was created using 580 high-resolution images captured with a GoPro 8-megapixel camera by Dan Gildea during the 2023 dive season. The level of detail in this model offers an unparalleled look at one of Lake Ontario’s historic schooners.

A huge thank you to Dan Gildea for this valuable contribution—this is just the beginning of more incredible Lake Ontario wreck models to come!

🚢 About the CORA W POST
The schooner CORA W. POST, measuring 40ft (12.2m) in length, 12.2 ft (3.7m) in width, and 4.7 ft (1.5m) in depth, boasted a gross tonnage of 13.12 GT and 10.4 NT. Constructed in 1875 in Little Sodus, New York, this vessel embarked on its fateful journey carrying 15,000 bricks up the St. Lawrence River.
On a dark and ill-fated night, tragedy struck as the CORA POST sailed without lights. The steamer PRINCESS LOUISE, shrouded in darkness, collided with the schooner, sending it plummeting 30ffw (10m) into the river’s depths. Miraculously, the crew managed to escape onto the steamer just in time. However, the uninsured vessel and its cargo incurred a loss of $3000.
