Local author Susan Peterson Gateley tracks down the real Maid of the
Mist and investigates the meaning behind the names Soup Harbor, Sheba
Island and the Devil's Nose.
Named by the Hurons, Ontario means Lake of Shining Waters. Beneath this
gleaming surface, though, the easternmost of the Great Lakes hides
enigmas from thousands of years of history. Ghosts linger on the
surface, and monsters swim below, frightening sailors on the water.
Smugglers used Lake Ontario during the War of 1812 and Prohibition and
continue to do so today--Ontario's darkness providing the cover needed
to elude law enforcement. Join Gateley as she delves deep below the
waves to uncover these and other legends, lore and secrets from Lake
Ontario.
