Satilla? A wreck in the St Clair River?

[avalanchediver]

Can anyone give me any information on a wreck in the St Clair River south of the Casino in Sarnia about 1/2 mile. I am not sure that I even have the correct name.

Thanks,

Eric

This wreck is not the Monarch, it is South of the Casino. It is only dove with a boat.

Avalanchediver,

Take a look in the tread above "locations/maps/coorodinates" and the post from Rooster1 "St.Clair River" and I think you'll find what your looking for.

Stay away from Sherston though I hear it sucks! ...Al
