I used to do a lot of down rigging here on the north end of Champlain. one of my favorite spots were I used to idle down to set my downrigger I sounded a structure on the bottom. about a month later same thing same place. one day I was talking with my nephew who is a diver and showed him the spot on his gps. I knew there was something there but we weren't expecting this!

Wow! That is super cool. Is it a charted wreck? If not that's a really interesting and potentially significant discovery.
