HMS Ontario

HMS Ontario was a 22-gun snow of the Royal Navy that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario on 31 October 1780 during the American Revolutionary War. At 80 feet (24 m) in length, she was largest British warship on the Great Lakes at the time. The shipwreck was discovered in 2008. Ontario was found largely intact and very well preserved in the cold water. The wreck discoverers asserted that "the 80-foot sloop of war is the oldest shipwreck and the only fully intact British warship ever found in the Great Lakes."
