Canada 1 Dollar 1979 - Le Griffon was a 45-ton barkentine built in 1679 by Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, to navigate the upper Great Lakes for the fur trade. It was the first full-sized European sailing ship to travel Lakes Erie, Huron, and Michigan. It vanished in September 1679 with six crew members and a cargo of furs, becoming a legendary mystery.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
