The Marysburgh Vortex: Canada’s Bermuda Triangle
Many strange things have occurred on the eastern side of Lake Ontario. Forming a triangle from Wolfe Island, Ontario to Point Petre, Ontario, to Mexico Bay, New York, the area is known for its many shipwrecks, disappearances, magnetic anomalies and other paranormal activities. Over 100 shipwrecks have occurred, including the vessels Eliza Quinlan (1883), Bavaria (1889), George A. Marsh (1917), and Star of Suez (1964). In 1900, the schooner Picton vanished on a clear day in late June. The schooner was captained by J. Sidley, who took his 12-year-old son, and a crew of five, to Belleville, Ontario to drop off a load of coal. A strong wind took her top sail, and two following vessels witness her vanish into thin air. All that was found was a sailor’s cap until a bottle was found by a boy in Sackett’s Harbor, New York. Inside the bottle -- corked, sealed, and wrapped in wire -- was a note scrawled in pencil saying:
“Have lashed Vessey to me with heaving line so will be found together, J. Sidley, Picton”
Many people familiar with the Marysburgh Vortex have noted its magnetic anomalies, especially those that effect compasses. Current marine charts of the area show a noticeable and unusual ring shape feature 25 kilometres south of Kingston, noted as Charity Shoal. Located 25 feet underwater, the shoal is one kilometre in diameter and is a near perfect circle. It was recently studied by the National Geophysical Data Centre (NGDC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The NGDC noted:
“The origin of the feature remains unknown. Although a sinkhole in the limestone terrane is a possibility, an origin related to a meteor crater, that was subsequently glaciated, seems more likely. Aeromagnetic mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada revealed a negative magnetic anomaly over Charity Shoal, which is a characteristic feature of simple impact craters.”
In 2013, the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), an non-profit research corporation, completed a study of the Charity Shoal Structure (CSS) and found its origins to be “... uncertain but it has been interpreted as an Ordovician age meteorite impact.” This would put the CSS at about 460 million years of age. The USRA found magnetic anomalies that could not be accounted for around the CSS as well. It could be that the mineral deposits or deformation of the crust by the meteor could be the cause of the magnetic anomalies. Meteorites often come in two forms: stoney and of iron-nickel or parts of small planets when the solar system was formed.” Should an iron-nickel meteorite be the cause of the CSS, it would rival Arizona’s Barringer Crater; formed by an iron-nickel meteor about 160 feet in diameter.
