A group of marine archaeologists and volunteers will take to Boiler Beach near Kincardine, Ont., this summer to learn more about the SS Erie Belle steamboat explosion from 1883. A group of marine archaeology enthusiasts will take to a southwestern Ontario beach this summer to learn more about a fatal shipwreck that happened more than a century ago. Archaeology experts know a faulty boiler caused the wreck, but Galbraith is now leading an underwater survey to find out more details. “My family has a cottage along the shore of Lake Huron, so for many years, I was growing up visiting the boiler that sits on the beach,” Galbraith told CBCs Afternoon Drive. “It has always been in my imagination and consciousnessand it got to a point this year where in speaking with friends, they said, ‘Lets see if we can actually document it.’” The province issued a formal marine archaeology license for Galbraith and his team of volunteers to do the survey starting this summer. The group will not remove any artifacts, Galbraith said, adding that they only plan to measure, record and take photos of the site. The Ontario Heritage Act forbids anyone without a proper license from altering or recovering artifacts from known marine archaeological sites.
