     A British ship that sank during the American Revolution has been discovered at the bottom of

Lake Ontario.Surprisingly,the 22gun ship is wellpreserved in the cold,deep water.Explorers

announced the news recently.

     Kennard is an electrical engineer.He has been diving for nearly 40 years and has found more

than 200 wrecks(残骸) in the Great Lakes and other lakes or rivers.He began searching the

Ontario 35 years ago but quit after several dives.Six years ago,he began to work with Scoville,a

diver.Since then,the pair have found seven ships in the lake.Over the years,Kennard got licenses

and information,including the ship's design plans,from the British government.Even then,it took the

pair three years to search more than 200 square miles before they found the ship earlier this month.

     After locating the wreck with the sonal(声纳),the explorers used a submarine to confirm their

find.The 80foot ship is the only entire British ship ever found in the Great Lakes,Scoville and

Kennard said."To have a ship from the Revolutionary War that's nearly entire is unbelievable.It's

an archaeological miracle."They said the ship is still considered the property of the British Admiralty.

Although the ship sits in an area where the water is up to 500 feet deep and cannot be reached by

anyone but the most experienced divers,Kennard and Scoville refused to give its exact location with

care.They only said that it was found off the southern shore.

     The ship was discovered resting partially on its side.It went down on October 31,1780,with 60

British soldiers, a crew of about 40,mostly Canadians,and possibly about 30 American war prisoners.

The explorers also found two cannons and the ship's bell.
