He took video and photographed it at that time. By Nov. 21 he noted that it was below the waterline but still visible when the waves broke over it. One week later there was no trace of the steamboat stern that had become accidently synonymous with Bayfield. Lloyd -Rees has notified the Department of Fisheries and Oceans via email of these developments. He was referred to Transport Canada and their Navigation Protection branch is now on the case. So just how did this piece of marine salvage come to grace the village shoreline? In 2001, then Bayfield Archivist Elaine Sturgeon documented its story after a conversation with Ed Siddall. He had been a key player in the saga that dates back to the 1970s. By Gary Lloyd -Rees - Oct. 14, 2017 (Shipwreck of the Malta in the foreground.) "In the early 1970s, the water levels of the Great Lakes were extremely high. This situation posed a grave threat to the shoreline and many property owners were desperately trying to save their properties. One such concerned individual was Brigadier Morgan Smith who at that time owned the "Metcalfe property" immediately to the south of Pioneer Park in Bayfield." In 1973, Smith purchased the Linda Hindman with the intent of creating a type of `break wall' to lessen the impact of the pounding waves. Siddall towed the vessel down to Bayfield and settled her as close to shore as possible. The stern was resting on the bottom in 11 feet of water. Garth Postill was to hook on and pull her in to shore with a bulldozer but before he arrived, Smith made the decision to open the seacocks and scuttle her where she would sit for the next 45 years. Siddall was the owner of the Linda Hindman for a very short time having attempted to rescue her from salvage. Deemed obsolete in the 1970s a number of steamboats were moored in Goderich Harbour and the Linda Hindman was among these vessels. By the time Siddall Fisheries purchased the steamboat she had already had her wheelhouse and deck removed. Her name had been painted over as was customary when a boat was being retired. The Linda Hindman's tale of woe continued that year when on St. Patrick's Day the moored steamboats broke loose from their cables due to the pounding of the waves. The Linda Hindman was the smallest of the vessels docked on the south side of the harbor and, possibly weakened from the lack of a wheelhouse and deck, she was literally squeezed in the entanglement and rendered useless for a new life as a fishing boat. According to Sturgeon's article, "The Linda Hindman was built in Dunkirk, New York and originally saw service as a fire tug. After many years working on the Great Lakes, Hindman Transportation - Owen Sound used her in the lumbering business. She worked out of Sault Ste. Marie and Whitefish Bay in Lake Superior. Her log book indicated they reinforced her steel bow. It is documented she could move through three-foot thick ice at the rate of one mile in eight hours." a month but not more than once a week.

There is no evidence that she ever played a significant role in erosion control along the south shore properties but she did serve as a valuable piece of artificial habitat for marine heritage and she certainly was a mainstay in the tourist culture of the village having been the focal point in many a photograph season after season.

This most Cowbell Brewing Co., is proud to announce they are the 2018 recipient of the Environmental Wood Design Award at the Ontario Wood Works! Wood Design Awards held in Vaughan on Tuesday, Nov. 20. "The Cowbell Brewing building is built in the traditional style of a Huron County barn, using stone and a timber frame, built to stand the test of time," said Grant Sparling, Chief Development officer for Cowbell Brewing. "Cowbell is committed to reducing our environmental impact and we purposely chose sustainable wood, materials and leading environmental technologies for our build." The Wood Works! Awards program honors people and organizations that, through design excellence, advocacy, and innovation, are advancing the use of wood in all types of construction. The Environmental Wood Design Award is awarded to a building in Ontario which prioritizes the use of sustainably - sourced wood products contributing significantly to the overall environmental performance of any building by reducing the embodied energy of a building, minimizing pollution, improving energy performance, and sequestering carbon. Each of these environmental benefits helps mitigate climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of our built environment. Whether through the brewery building or design and operation, Cowbell is committed to maintaining highly sustainable practices. Beyond the beautiful wood frame structure, Cowbell has used building design, materials, and ongoing operations to become more efficient and reduce the impact on the local environment. Cowbell also participates in an onsite carbon sequestration program, achieved through a 23 -acre reforestation project.
