http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marysburgh_vortex


The Marysburgh Vortex is an area of eastern Lake Ontario with a startling record of mysterious ship and aircraft disappearances and crashes that has been compared to the Bermuda Triangle. According to shipping and insurance records during the schooner era and the early days of steamship travel, more than two thirds of the shipwrecks in Lake Ontario occurred in the area encompassed by the alleged Vortex. It is located east of Point Petre in the southern portion of Prince Edward County and extends in an easterly direction towards the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, and north in the direction of Kingston, Ontario.

According to local folklore, located off the western end of Prince Edward County is the Sophiasburgh Triangle, sometimes considered a subset of the Marysburgh Vortex. It is located at the entrance to Presqu'ile Bay where there is a variation in Earth's magnetic field which interferes with the normal functioning of compasses, and makes it difficult to enter the safety of the bay during a storm or low visibility.












Incidents - Marysburgh Vortex

This area of Lake Ontario has become a popular location with sport divers due to the tremendous number of shipwrecks located in a relatively small geographic area. Over the course of a short vacation, divers can explore a wide variety of wrecks from various points in history thanks to the concentration of sunken vessels. Just off the shore of Prince Edward County there are more than 50 known wrecks, including the John Randall, Olive Branch and Annie Falconer. The mysterious or poorly documented nature of many of the sinkings along with the sheer number of lost vessels has bolstered the legend of the infamous Vortex.
[edit]

Quinlan

One of the earlier and better documented losses in the area was that of the Quinlan, a coal-carrying schooner out of Oswego, New York destined for the north shore of Lake Ontario in the autumn of 1883. Her planned course was a direct line north, straight through the Marysburgh Vortex. The first sign of anything unusual was that shortly after clearing the American shores, she sailed into what her crew called an "unusually thick fog". After that, the weather began to get colder and the ship began to accumulate a blanket of heavy snow which her crew desperately tried to clear for fear of Quinlan becoming top-heavy and capsizing. As fast as they could remove snow, more accumulated, until the waves began to rise in an unprecedented manner, battering the ship and leaving the crew unable to do anything but hold on for dear life. Her compass ceased functioning and began to spin as the waves drove her through the storm, leaving the crew no idea which direction she was headed. Even if the crew had known their direction of travel, it would have done them no good because the fury of the storm had taken any control of the ship out of their hands.

Finally, she was slammed into the rocky shores of Marysburgh in Prince Edward County just before noon, where her masts splintered and her hull was split. While the ship was torn to pieces, onlookers from shore were able to rescue a few of the sailors clinging to the remaining hull and rigging. The remaining crew members were sucked back into the storm and lost. After their recovery, the few surviving members of the crew agreed on one thing: "some odd attraction", an unknown force, had gripped the ship, disabled her compass, and driven her to her rocky doom.
[edit]

Bavaria

Another of the earliest strange occurrences happened near the end of May of 1889. It involved the disappearance of the crew of the ship Bavaria. The Bavaria was one of three schooners that were being towed by the steamer D.C. Calvin. The tow line broke in a sudden gale and the schooners were left to their own devices. Two of the ships were later rescued and towed to port in Kingston, Ontario by the Calvin and another rescue ship named Armenia, but the Bavaria was not immediately found. The schooner was later located by the Armenia grounded on Galloo Island, a small shoal. She was perfectly intact, but missing her 8-man crew and a single lifeboat.

There appeared to be nothing wrong with the ship other than a small amount of water found in her hold. A large sum of money was found in the captain's quarters along with all the ship's papers, fresh bread was found in the oven, and a small half-finished repair job was found on the deck. It was if the men on board had suddenly abandoned a perfectly seaworthy ship in fear of something unknown. It seems unlikely the crew would have begun baking bread or doing minor repairs during a storm during which they were fighting for their lives, so the evidence suggests they made it through the gale alive and later felt the need to suddenly abandon the ship after returning to normal duties. To add to the "ghost story"-type mythos of the disappearance, both another ship and a lighthouse keeper in the same area reported spotting and attempting to rescue 2 men in a lifeboat during the same storm. Both rescue attempts failed, largely due to the fact that the men in the lifeboat made no effort to assist in their own rescue and seemed in a catatonic state, and simply vanished into the storm.
[edit]

George A. Marsh

The 135' George A. Marsh was a three-masted schooner built in Muskegon, Michigan in 1882 and employed for many years in the lumber industry. By August 8, 1917, steam had overtaken sail as the preferred method of shipping, and she changed hands several times as she became more and more obsolete. Relegated to a fate of basic coal-hauling duty and poor maintenance, she was hired by the Soward Coal Company to ship 450 tons (more than double her original gross weight) of coal to the Rockwood Hospital in Kingston, Ontario. After leaving harbour in Oswego, New York on what was by all accounts a beautiful day, Marsh was suddenly overtaken by a violent storm and the battering waves ruptured her seams. Captain John Wesley Smith attempted to beach her on nearby Pigeon Island, but her manual pumps could not keep up with the leaks and she rolled and partially capsized within sight of her destination, landing on the lake bottom right side up in 85 feet of water. Her masts, taller than she was long, actually protruded from the water and soon had to be knocked down with dynamite because of the hazard they posed to navigation. In total, twelve people died in this tragedy, including Captain Smith, his wife, and five children. There is a legend that the Captain himself, a strong swimmer, survived and in his grief fled to the United States where he lived for nearly a decade running a flour and feed business in Oklahoma. However, the only documented survivors were the Captain's brother, William Smith and deckhand Neil McLennan.
[edit]

The Star of Suez

The Star of Suez was a freighter. On June 30, 1964, as it sailed into the Marysburgh Vortex, it immediately began experience inexplicable navigation problems. The Star ran aground but the crew was able to free the ship. The next year, a mysterious fire broke out as The Star sailed into the Vortex. The crew was not able to bring the fire under control and another boat was called to help. The fire was eventually extinguished but the cause was never determined.

I experienced something crazy when I was going to Humber College in Rexdale. They have this arboreteum behind the residencies and me and a few girls from my floor were out there one day walking around....as we were walking to the bridge that goes over a stream we noticed an older man walking towards the same destination from the construction area. The man was slightly bald, white hair, orange jacket and had this confused look on his face....as if he was looking for something. We then noticed the large fence cutters in his hand and got a bit freaked out so the three of us sped up and walked quickly towards the bridge, we could feel the guy walking behind us so my friend stepped to the side to let him pass by....but noone was there
