I had setup a NAS last year and moved stuff on that from my laptops (including downloads of the pics, for backup/archive) and was trying to find what folders I put them in. I brought 2 phones to take pics (the Samsung Galaxy S4 and an iPhone 4s), so since I still have the phones, I grabbed one and transferred this one to annotate. The Skylon pics would have been from further away but would have also been more of an overhead view.

Red circle around where I think it is (this was from my iPhone 4s, 1/1600 sec. f/2.4 4.28mm, ISO 64) -

Zoomed view -

Based on that Toronto Power Generating Station video clip, that building is apparently where most of the pics/views of it have been taken vs getting shots of it from across the way on the other side of the falls where the above was taken.

ON EDIT: The scow has always been visible regardless of the river's water level. John1956PA Nov 2019 #1

Okay but then BumRushDaShow Nov 2019 #2

I agree. This historic relic should have been common knowledge all along. John1956PA Nov 2019 #3

Plus every year they show the falls and parts of that river "frozen over" BumRushDaShow Nov 2019 #5

The scow wreck has always been visible, but there's a second wreck that's not always visible Dennis Donovan Nov 2019 #8

Thanks for correcting my mistake. The scow had indeed been visible regardless of the river level. John1956PA Nov 2019 #9

The upriver side was eroded by the force of the water Dennis Donovan Nov 2019 #10

Cool. I'm just curious where it was in relation to the falls before it relocated itself! BumRushDaShow Nov 2019 #6

Found what I think is a pic of it after going through some of my photos BumRushDaShow Nov 2019 #12

WaPo had a video clip history and Weather.com had the tweet with that video from Niagara Parks BumRushDaShow Nov 2019 #7
