Severe weather shifts boat stuck on Niagara Falls rocks for 101 years

A barge that has been stuck atop some rocks in Niagara Falls for more than 100 years has finally shifted as a result of severe weather. The Iron Scow, a flat-bottomed ship used to carry cargo in shallow waters in the 19th and 20th centuries, has been lodged in upper rapids of Niagara Falls -- about 600 meters from the brink Horseshoe Falls -- since August 1918, after it broke loose from its towing tug, according to the Niagara Parks Commission. Heavy wind and rain on Halloween shifted the scow, Jim Hill, Niagara Parks Commission senior manager of heritage, said in a video produced by the commission.
