of man believed to have been buried for over 125 years have been unearthed on the east bank of the Notlawas aga River near the site of the hull of the old HMS Nancy at Wasaga Beach Dr Ivos of Stayncr examin led the skeleton and was of the lopinion that the bones were at least 100 years old and could possibly be traced back as far as the war of 181214 This factgives rise to the bc 1lief that the remains are those of an American or an English sailor las small heavilycorroded brass button presumably off some kind of military uniform was found with the bones The skeleton was discovered by two young ladies who had been swimming in the river and were bank just south of the Nottawasaga One girl dug her ngers into the bank to secure better grip and her hand came in contact with smooth hard object She gave sharp lug and was horried when vealing the skeleton The girls reported their find to the police at Wasaga Beach and the bones were taken to the provincial police station Preserved In Sand The bones and skull are in an excellent state of preservation due to the fact the body was buried in pure sand The teeth are still embedded in the jaws of the skull and tuft of red hair was found lying beside skull The body as probably buried some yardswf am the top of the bank but erosion caused by the water during the past century has widened the bank to the burial ground It is quite possible that the skeleton could be the remains of British sailor killed when the HMS Nancy was blown up by three American ships during the battle of Nottawasaga on August 13 1814 The hull of the Nancy was re covered from the sands of Nancy Island in 1925 and placed in specs iallybuilt building where thous ands of tourists view the historic relic every summer It is not known just how many British sailors perished with the Nancy but the ships commander seamen escaped up the river and later returned to help capture the Tigress and Scorpion two of the three American ships which took every
