Description

In the 1670's the great explorer Robert Cavalier, Sieur de LaSalle built the Griffon on the upper reaches of the Niagara River--the first ship to sail above the mighty falls. On a voyage from lake Michigan back to the Niagara she disappeared without a trace. The author of this book believes he has discovered her remains in an island cove near Tobermory, Ontario on Lake Huron. This account of historical deduction is based on many years of careful research.
