Unveiling the Shocking Discovery 😲😲 Silver Islet #history #facts #shorts #viral
#Silver Islet
SILVER ISLET, Ont. — The remnants of a mine that shut down 136 years ago are still intriguing visitors to Silver Islet at the tip of the Sibley Peninsula, east of Thunder Bay.
Once known as the world's richest silver mine, it was closed in 1884, after producing $3,250,000 worth of ore.
Feats of engineering were required to develop the mine, dig 365 metres beneath the surface of Lake Superior, and operate under the constant threat of flooding.
The mine shafts are covered in water, but their top portions are visible on a calm day, making them one of the attractions during tours arranged by Thunder Bay-based Sail Superior.
