Interesting fact

The S.S. Frontenac, featured on the 1991 Canadian $1 silver coin, was a steamship that sank in Lake Ontario in 1887. It was one of the largest and most luxurious ships of its time, and its sinking was a major maritime disaster that resulted in the loss of many lives. Today, the wreck of the S.S. Frontenac is a popular destination for scuba divers and marine archaeologists.
