<div dir="ltr">Sean The wreck is the City Of Ainsworth Paddle Steamer sank in 1898 Kootenay Lake, killing several people. It was carrying all the furniture and fixtures for a new Saloon in New Denver, so I am told anyways. This has been a long time dream for me to visit the wreck. Brian Nadwidney is super into it also. He has hired ROV company to look at it, but weather is always a problem. Plus the viz was real bad. You are welcome to join us. The wreck is just under 400 feet. I will explore the debris trail also.</div><div dir="ltr">Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
