During one of our sonar surveys in Lake Ontario on July 9, 2025 we came across this wreck. It appeared to have a mast still standing as well as a bowsprit clearly visible on the sonar scan. We did an ROV dive on it that same day and immediately recognized it as the Washington that was previously discovered in 2016 by Jim Kennard, Roger Pawlowski, and Roland Stevens during one of their sonar surveys. It was a long day on the lake that day so we returned to the wreck site on July 11 to do a full 3D model of the Washington, it came out pretty good.
