Frequently asked questions
Harbor looking like a pond. Why is a Fort Ontario cellar still in Lake Ontario?
Ontario does not need whitecaps to hold the mouth. October rain on a high lake has nowhere to go but the fort terrace. A slack harbor is a full table. The mill blocks were poured into that table, not beside it.
It has been dry for a week and the mill basement is still wet. Why?
The lake holds it up. Ontario keeps the harbor and river-mouth table high under these basements whatever the recent rainfall has been, so a dry spell changes very little. The level that matters is the lake's, not the sky's.
October rain versus Ontario ice. Which one actually fills a harbor cellar?
Yes, because October is the last big rain before freeze-up, on a lake already high from the rest of the year. Rain on a full harbor does not have a fallback. Winter ice can wet a wall; October rain on a full Ontario fills a floor.
