Nestled in the eastern waters of Lake Ontario, near Prince Edward County, lies a mysterious region known as the Marysburgh Vortex. Often referred to as Canada’s version of the Bermuda Triangle, this eerie stretch of water has been the site of numerous shipwrecks, unexplained disappearances, and bizarre occurrences dating back centuries.The Marysburgh Vortex is one of three points forming the so-called “Great Lakes Triangle,” which extends from Kingston to Oswego, New York, and back to the waters off Prince Edward County. Within this zone, countless vessels have vanished without a trace, leaving behind only speculation and legend. One of the most infamous incidents occurred in 1889 when the iron-hulled steamer *William H. Smith* disappeared without a distress signal, taking all crew members with it.Theories surrounding the vortex range from extreme weather patterns and treacherous underwater currents to magnetic anomalies disrupting navigational equipment. Some believe there is a supernatural element at play, with legends of ghost ships, eerie lights, and even whispers of an underwater portal. Indigenous oral histories also speak of dangerous forces in the area, warning travellers to avoid these treacherous waters.Despite its dark reputation, modern science attributes many of these shipwrecks to the lake’s unpredictable nature, including sudden squalls, rogue waves, and hidden reefs. However, even with technological advancements, the Marysburgh Vortex continues to hold an air of mystery, as reports of strange phenomena persist.What truly lies beneath the waters of the Marysburgh Vortex? Is it merely a treacherous part of the Great Lakes, or is there something more inexplicable lurking in its depths?For a deeper dive into this enigmatic mystery, listen to our episode on The Marysburgh Vortex on Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, available now on Spotify and YouTube!(Also, for anybody curious, Ogopogo is in Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. However, Bessie does live in Lake Erie, Ontario.)
