Speaking of bottle dumps...

I heard there was an old bottle dump in the St. Lawrence at Cardinal, Ont. ( just down river from the Conestoga, near the Legion ) Does any one know of this spot ? In what years did the dump take place ?

I heard it was just a bunch of bottles in one area of the Niagara River.

A group of us dive the Niagara at least 4X per year. I am not aware of any bottle dump in the Niagara. I have found numerous blop tops, clay pipes and medicine bottles while drifting. Several are ceramic/clay bottles. There is an area known as the penny hole that is at the entrance to the rive, it can be a very dangerous dive due to boat traffic.

I have also dove the St. Lawrence in various spots and there is a bottle dump near Cornwall. It is very close to shore, but we did it by boat. Lots of bootles, old toys, tools etc. I think this was a local dump site either before or after that part of the area was flooded due to the dam being put in. As I mentioned it is very close to shore and could be a very easy shore dive. All I know is that is somewhat near Cornwall, Ontario.

Does the town of CARDINAL sound familier to you ? Its on the way to Cornwall. I heard there was a bottle dump near Cardinal.

DI GUY,

YOU may be right, after looking at a map it may have been closer to Cardinal. I am sure if one travels there they could ask, as I know it is a known dive site. I do beleive that the bottle dump was up-river from the power house dive site which would put it closer to Cardinal.
