You all forgot the remains of the Stephen R. Jones which went aground 1000 yards east of the Bourne Bridge on June 28, 1942. During the height of the second world war. It was blasted (blown up) in place starting on July 4th 1942 and took 28 days to clear the canal by that method which was the fastest way to do it being the canal was an important defensive element in keeping shipping from going around the outer cape where German U-Boats where lurking. It's still there and is the cause of the rip behind Gallo's Ice Arena. Watch your compass when travelling over it, it will spin like mad for a minute going over all that rusted metal laying on the bottom.

Why even try.........
