5. J UNO R E V I S I T E D Our April feature on the little wo o de n steamer JUNO has evoked much f av ou ra bl e comment, and we s i nc er el y thank those who have re spo nde d to the article. The fact that so m an y of our fe atures prompt the pa rt i c i p a t i o n of the members is one of the most r e w ard ing aspects of pro du ci ng "Scanner". One of the photos of JUNO which i l l u s t ra te d our article showed her u n l o a d ing coal at a bunkers dock but we could not iden tif y the location. One of our members, Rev. Ra ym on d M. Donahue, of Algonac, Michigan, has come up with the answer. In his extensive collection, he managed to locate a postcard of the wo od en steamer IRON AGE u n l o a d i n g coal at the ve r y same wharf, and the card is ca p t i o n e d "Coal Docks, Sandwich, Ont.". Fr. Ray also notes that, in later years, this wharf, much altered, was still d i sp en si ng coal bunkers, known then as E m p i r e - H a n n a Dock No. 3. C o n s i d e r i n g that she was loc al ly owned, it is not s u r p r i s i n g that JUNO w ou ld be taking coal to a bunkers dock along the Wi nd s o r waterfront. We also heard from Charles Taws, Curator of the Bow man vi ll e Museum, who e x pres se d an interest in joining T . M . H . S. and also sent along in fo rm at io n con ce rn i n g the latter years of JUNO. One of the items is a copy of an article from the Oct ob er 10, 1914, issue of "The (Toronto) Even ing Telegram", en ti t l e d "Unwelcome Tenants of the East End of the Bay". It was i l l u s tr at ed by a dra wi ng of the much d e t e r i o r a t e d hull of ERIE BELLE, the p a r t i a l l y c u t -d ow n p a ss en ge r steamer DU N D U R N and, in the distance, the steamer JUNO, the latter a p p a r e n t l y in fa irly decent condition. The article stated: "Three once promi nen t in hab ita nts of Ca na di an lakes and waterways, past their days of usefulness, are no longer welcome to the resting place found for them in the (Toronto) harbour, west of the plant of the Nati on al Iron Works. "Orders have gone forth from the Har bou r C o m m i s s i o n to the effect that the hulks of the sc hooner ERIE BELLE, and the steamers JUNO and DUND URN must find new quarters. Removal is n e c e s s a ry to make way for harb our improve men t work. "The ERIE BELLE used to be a 'topsail schooner' in the old days, the trimmest craft of her kind. She sank in the Chippawa Cr eek ten years ago. Re c en tl y she was raised by a Toronto dr ed gi ng concern for the purpose of reb ui l d i n g her, but this was found to be too expensive. The new owner beached and ab a n d o n e d her near the docks of the National Iron Works. "The DU ND U R N and the JUNO both belong to the Canada Ste am sh ip Lines. Last fall, the boilers and engine were taken out of the DUNDURN, and in st all ed in a ferry steamer at Montreal. When the steel plates on he boat were stripped, it was found that the timbers in the hull were in bad shape and she was beached. The JUNO, one of the old w o o d en -h ul l freighters, was also hauled up behind the D U N D U R N . " Mr. Taws also sent us a copy of an article e n ti tle d "The Cove - Out of the Depths", which a p p ea re d in the "Bowmanv ill e Statesman" on August 9, 1951. It reads: "'The Old Wreck' has been sighted again. This fact and the s e e mi ng ly u n r e l a t e d one of rev iv ed interest in fishing off the shore from Wi l l o w Lake brings to mind an early bit of Cove history. For many years, part of an old ship lay pa r t l y buried in the sand and par tly jutting into the water p r e c i s e l y in front of Cove Cottage. Other wre cks came and went but this pa rt i c u l a r one r e m ai ne d and became as much a part of the place as the very lake itself. It was a f f e c t i o n a t e l y known as 'The Old Wreck' and served as dock, di vi ng board, wash stand, sand castle re nde zvo us and lovers' lookout. Finally the winters' storms a c co mp l i s h e d their worst and took The Old Wreck from sight. No one knew where. This year, it has been found again, almost c o m p l e t e l y buried in gravel, not far from its original re sting place. "Recent comers to The Cove may wonder how the wreck first came here. Years
