The barque was built for the famed .French explorer, Sieur , de t is S'a * W -I, tg r a-- River above the, falls in the` winter of 1678 and summer of 1679` for the purpose of transporting furs pur- chased from the •Indians. The Grif- fon sailed out of the Detroit harbor on September 18, 1679, with a load of furs and• was never; seen again. One of the stories handed down was that the Griffon was boarded by a group, of "friendly" Indians near an Island . off Tobermorry in Georgian Bay and was burned and In Auglrst of 1955, Orrie Vail, of Tobermory, discovered a wreck on an inner cove of this -is=land which was believed to be the, remains of the famous Griffon. Believing that the Griffon drifted along the lake years, Mr. Vail felt confident it was actually sunk in the deep water oft the island. To confirm this, con- viction, he called on two skin divers to investigate. These skin divers were Bruce MacDonald, of Goderich; and Jim Vallance, of Atwood, Ontario. After probing the deep water off the island last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, they� have returned with findings o Cvhat m'�g`TiT -OT realThis oricai interest. These findings have been forwarded for identification to Row- ley W.. Murphy, A.R,C,A., Royal Canadian Naval War Artist, who has spent 25 years research on the Griffon,and also to C. H. J. Snider, of Toronto, world -recogniz- ed authority on early Canadian ships. In the deep water off the island, the skin divers last week found dozens of hand -made - bolts and nails, exactly the same as those Wrecked found ' on the' Griffon which was discovered on the inner cove of the island by 0. C:'Vall, of Toberrnory, in August, 1955. Crowbars were found necessary by the underwater divers to remove bolts, eaulking ' tools and scrapers from the rooks on the bottom of the lake where they were discover- ed last week. Over the years these iron objects had, become embedded in the rocks and were covered 'with a heavy 'limestone growth. Also found were pieces of white oak -frames and planki=ng that showed signs of having been burned at one time, thus corroborating the story that the Indians had burned the old ,,Griffon years ago. , • Among the numerous Objects brought up from the lake bottom by the divers was an ancient pad - face there appeared quite plainly the pictureof a crown and other insignia which made it appear somewhat after the nature of a royal crest. Chiselled out of the rock formation also was an ancient frying pan' and' numerous needles used to mend sails. A master shipbuilder, Moyse Hillaret, 'was brought out from France to supervise the construc- tion ir'the Griffon. STic waft 'built of white oak, carried five guns;' "two brass and - three harguebuse a eroc," She is believed to have had an overall length of 60 felt. 1 WEDNESDAY ----' 7.00 p.m. -TRADE FAIR OPENS (Exhibits in Arena and Agricultural Park) MIDWAY `OPENS (Agricultural Park) CP CHILDREN'S "PARADE led by Goderich Blue - Water Band 7,45 p,m 0]i 1.'101AL OPENING OF GODERICH TRADE FAIR CHARLES S.
