Ribs/mast coming ashore in Toronto's East Beaches?

Many ribs and last winter a mast have blown in during strong East storms. Any ideas as to how to identify?

I would ask around at some of the local dive shops that might know of wrecks that are near to shore. Most likely these came from a shipwreck that is probably in 30 ft of water or less just off shore.

Thanks Jim - a few years back a number of beach residents tried to identify this wreck. There really aren't many places around here to ask. It must be from something that isn't currently mapped unless it's drifting across the entirety of Lake Ontario! I tried to identify it based on the hardware including one gorgeous piece that came up with massive bolts still holding pieces of it together. Unfortunately even after dragging that massive bit up as far as we could out of the surf line the waves got it the next day. Thanks for replying. Always appreciated.
