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.
