HMS Ontario is the oldest shipwreck to be discovered in the Great Lakes. Found in May 2008 it is completely intact and lies in very deep water in Lake Ontario. See the details on the discovery of the Ontario in the article section of Shipwreckworld.

The oldest shipwreck on the great lakes is the small french ship "Le Griffon" built by LaSalle in 1679...it was last seen leaving the Green Bay area in the late summer of 1679 with a small crew. The ship disappeared following a fierce late summer storm and for years was beleived to have been wrecked in upper Lake Huron in the Manitoulin Island area....during the summer of 2010, a group of explorers reported finding her remains off St. Martin's Island at the entrance to Green Bay in Lake Michigan.
