A new discovery has been made in Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary!

Researchers from NOAA, the state of Michigan, and Ocean Exploration Trust have discovered an intact shipwreck resting hundreds of feet below the surface of Lake Huron. The shipwreck has been identified as the sailing ship Ironton. Magnificently preserved by the cold freshwater of the Great Lakes for over a century, the 191-foot Ironton rests upright with its three masts still standing.

Just a calm day on Thunder Bay... until you stumble upon a shipwreck! 😱

You never know what you may find when you visit a national marine sanctuary. This angler and paddle boarder are checking out the remains of the wooden schooner Albany. Albany has rested on the bottom of Lake Huron since it ran aground in 1853. Today, it is a popular destination for snorkelers and paddlers.

We want to congratulate and thank our 3rd place Sanctuary Recreation winner, Bryan Dort, for sharing what it means to #RecreateResponsibly.

Check out the rest of our winners:

WHAT IS THE SLEEPING GIANT?

Nestled on the shores of northwestern Ontario’s Lake Superior, the Sleeping Giant is a series of mesas formed by the erosion of thick, basaltic sills on Sibley Peninsula, which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

It is home to over 100km of incredible hiking trails with ample opportunity for camping, swimming, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and views worth the climb.

THE OJIBWE´ LEGEND. 

Ojibwe´, also spelled Ojibwa or Ojibway, self-name Anishinaabe, are the Omàmìwininìmowin speaking (the Algonquin language) First Nations who live in the northwestern area of the Ontario Province (Canada) - from where the Sleeping Giant legend originates. Their population extends throughout the rest of Ontario and Manitoba into the American states of Minnesota and North Dakota.

The Ojibwe´ legend of this natural wonder tells the story of the Giant Nanabijou, the Spirit of the Deep Sea Water, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine, now known as Silver Islet, was disclosed to white fur traders... Europeans who had arrived on this part of the world.

There are variations of this legend. This is one of them.

Nanabijou rewarded the Ojibwe´ people for their peaceful way of living and loyalty with a silver-rich mine, now known as Silver Islet at the foot of the Giant. Nanabijou had the Ojibwe´ promise to keep the mine and its location secret, warning that if the mine was revealed to the white man the Ojibwe´ people would perish and Nanabijou himself would be turned to stone. 

Using silver from the mine to make jewelry and ornaments, the Ojibwe´ garnered an envious reputation for their beauty. Their popularity eventually led to the discovery of the mine by a warrior of the neighbouring Sioux nation.

The Sioux warrior, during the journey back to his tribe, came into contact with white fur traders. Legend has it that these white men “cajoled him with food and drink” when they saw the silver. The Sioux warrior divulged the source and location of the silver, and the promise made to Nanabijou the Spirit of the Deep Sea Water, was forever broken. The white fur traders, enroute to the Silver Islet to take silver from the mine, drowned in a vicious storm that came out of nowhere. And where there once was a wide entrance to the mine now lies the stone figure of Nanabijou—the Sleeping Giant nestled in the waters of Lake Superior.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

I wish to acknowledge the land where I live and work are the traditional lands of the Anishinabek Nation, the traditional territory of Fort William First Nation and the lands of the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850.

See you again. Thanks for visiting.

I rewind the tape but all it does is pause

On the very moment all was lost

Sending signals

To be double crossed

And I was catching my breath

Barefoot in the wildest winter

Catching my death

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

This song pains me so much because it reminds me of how horrible and traumatizing Banks' life was, just how hopeless and desperate she was to lead a 'normal' life and be like the other high school kids. She keeps telling herself she will get herself out of that town but all she knew and given in life was the ugly side of thunderbay. I think even though her heart's desire was to be as far away from the town as possible, she knew she would always be tied down because of the two person she somehow feel responsible for. Everytime i reread hideaway it becomes more and more clear Banks needs OUT of thunderbay to be at peace. That place is simply not big enough for her.

"Giddy Up" and get down to the Neebing tonight for some "Dancin' In The Country" that'll make you forget "Last Night." It's too cold to go "Fishin' In The Dark" so you might as well get your "Boot Scootin' Boogie" on. The door staff can spot "Fake ID", so don't try that because "No Body" is falling for it which is " How It Oughta Be." We get "Footloose" starting at 9 with awesome people and it'll be "Standing Room Only." #TBay #DJ #CountryMusic #ThunderBay #AnEntertainmentExperience #ProfessionalEntertainment (at Neebing Roadhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8lhtNvKEV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
