One of my all time favourite Windsor / Detroit legends... The sinking of the British ship M.V. Montrose on the Detroit River!
The accident happened in the middle of the River right under the Ambassador Bridge on July 31st 1962.
Some excellent archival film here shot from the deck of the Boblo Boat just days after the accident.
The Montrose was removed from the river in a massive salvage operation that lasted 3 months. The ship never returned to the Great Lakes.
