The H.M.S. Ontario, a British warship that sank in 1780, makes it the oldest British warship to have been found in the Great Lakes. The ship was found between Niagara and Rochester, NY in 2008 and was mostly intact. It sank during a storm where about 130 men lost their lives. Jim Kennard started 35 years earlier to search for this ship but was not successful until he and Dan Scoville teamed up together searching for sunken vessels. Together, it only took them three years to find this ship.
