The Wreck of the Griffon

In the year 1679, the first ship to sail on the upper Great Lakes disappeared with its entire crew and valuable cargo of furs. Built by the explorer, La Salle, near Niagara Falls, its loss nearly ruined him. To this day, more than 335 years later, the wreck of the GRIFFON has not definitively been found. It has become the most hunted -- and the most found -- shipwreck in Great Lakes history!
