Kingston Shipwrecks Marked With Plaques-- Part 2

All three warships were built in the Kingston Dock Yard.

By the 1850s all of the ships had disappeared below the water and their identities forgotten other than the HMS St. Lawrence.

In the 1930s, artifacts from the two Deadman's Bay ships were retrieved and are still on display at Fort Henry.  Early in the 1950s archaeologists and divers identified the remains of the ships.

The ceremony began with the march of a re-enactment group, the Canadian Fencibles.
