Mark had the chance to explore a piece of Fenelon Falls’ timber industry history, hidden beneath the river’s surface for over 125 years. This fascinating glimpse into the past showcases the rich logging heritage of the region, where sunken relics from the booming lumber trade still rest, waiting to be rediscovered.

This interview brings attention to the importance of underwater archaeology in preserving and understanding Ontario’s maritime and industrial history. A huge shoutout to Mark and the CBC team for helping to share this incredible story!
