Abandoned And Decaying

Abandoned And Decaying Old Boat In Lake Ontario

The Grounded Ship was a replica of the Grand Hermie used by Jacques Cartier in 1535-1536 and 1541-1542 to explore Canada. This ship was built in 1967 for Expo 67 as part of the nautical theme as Expo 67 which was on islands in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The ship was taken to Quebec City and abandoned in 2001.

It was a floating casino/restaurant in Montreal and went out of business. At some point, it was towed to the Jordan Harbor where the current restaurant was going to fix it up and open it again as a floating restaurant.

At some point someone started this beautiful ship on fire and now she sadly sits rusting on the shores of Lake Ontario.
