Niagara Falls -
The Old Scow
This dumping scow marooned and rusting away
in the Upper Rapids has
been a point of interest since August 1918, when it brooke loose from
its towing tug with two men aboard.
The men had the presence of mind to
open the bottom dumping doors, grounding the scow on a rocky ledge
where it has remained since. The men spent almost 29 hours on the barge
before they were rescued by means of a breeches buoy connected to a
line that was shot out from the roof of the Toronto Power Generation
Station.
