Some one has taken the trouble to
place buoy over the bones of Com
modore Perry's flagship, the st. Law
renee, in Erie Harbor, near the north
end of Misery Bay. The wreck OF
the st. Lawrence, lying with the bow
end pointing nearly northeast, can be
plainly seen when the water is clear
and calm. Until the buoy was placed,
parties sometimes spent hours in search
ing for this historic relic. Beside its
interest as relic, it is often sought
by anglers, as the shattered tmbers
seem to be favorite lurking place for
the smaller varieties of bay fish, such
as perch, rock bass, swamp bass, etc,
and it requires little skill to catch a
few dozen at almost any time. A
great many handsome canes have been
made from the st. Lawrence, and there
is timber enough under water yet for
thousands more.
