Two Oshawa scuba divers, Kenneth Gibson and William Wilson, brought jhe anchor to shore at Bon Echo Park after four days' work, Both firemen, their hobby is exploring lakes throughout the p e. Park officials said the anchor probably belonged to a 100- passenger boat used at the turn of the century on the 12- mile-long lake. Local residents had to travel by boat when the roads were in bad condition in spring and fall. The two divers sank steel drums, tied them to the anchor and by forcing air into the drums, were able to float the anchor to the surface. A tow truck. then winched the booty to shore.
