YT recommended this! I'm from the area and have paddleboarded over Wales plenty. Fascinating stuff.
Your editing reminds me of montage of Slavko Workapitch.
Wow! Thanks for that very generous compliment!
Fascinating, great work. We drive the Long Sault Parkway now and then for fun.
Nice video, you deserve more likes👍
It is a great video.
Great job connecting the historical images to the scene today! This story has fascinated me for ages, after hearing about it at Upper Canada Village when I was a kid. Some of the buildings were moved there for preservation. That trip also inspired some fun sandbox recreations if I recall!
I saw it on Google satellite view, so I wanted to fly my drone to take a closer look. I wish I had done the research to find those archival photos beforehand, rather than afterwards, as I would have framed the aerial shots differently to more closely match the photos. Wales is just one of several villages destroyed to make way for the Seaway expansion.
@@Zbip57 I'm sure "destroyed " wasn't the spin at the time...maybe "relocated" or "uplifted"...
Fancy meeting you here Don. My mother and her mother and her mothers church is in the Village, the farm ( Moulinette )is under the river/lake. I guide kayak trips throughout the area and feature these ruins and others.
@@flightographist wow! Very cool!!
@@DonJoyce If you ever feel the urge, let me know and I will be happy to take you and your wife/partner out for the experience- gratis: paddling, shore lunch, vistas, and big wide open sky, and the very best part- walking on water!
Amazing video with the map overlays. Any info on that flooded race track in Wales (1:10)? Some googling suggests it’s “Connors’ Race Track” used primarily for horse racing & some motorcycle racing. Any more info on the track would be appreciated.
Ironic that the idiotic love affair with "just in time delivery" by thousands of trucks daily, has largely relegated the sea way, to irrelevance.
I kayak all over that area often. It's quite sobering to think of what happened to these villages and the people displaced. There is a huge foundation at the 5 minute mark of this video. Can anyone tell me what building it was?
That's all part of D.H.C. Smith's apple farm. Pause the video at 5:22. That structure is visible in the extreme bottom right corner of the archival image, running lengthwise parallel to Main St. Directly across the street from this low structure you see a row of tall trees, as well as a couple more trees just north on the same side of the street as the structure. Run the video ahead a few seconds more to 5:30 and you can see the remaining stumps of these trees still visible today.
@@Zbip57 thank you so much! I always thought it was a foundation of a church.
The two churches, St.David's Anglican and St.Matthew's United, can be seen at 1:52 in the video, on Victoria St. north of the railway tracks. The churches' foundations are located under the trees on the small island, top centre-left, at 3:05 in the video.
@@Zbip57 very informative...thanks again!

Wales island is not lost, it exactly where it was 1960 when submerged along with the other islands. “Creating new island”, but submerge half
That elevated area became Wales Island when the village of Wales and surrounding land was submerged. It wasn't an "island" previous to the flooding.
This is the kind of information I looked for in the description @@Zbip57
