Northern Ontario man solves local legend, finds long-lost vintage liquor at bottom of a lake
Bottle of liquor recovered from the bottom of Larder Lake will be auctioned off at local charity event
The version of the story Ploeger heard the most was that the taxi went through the ice of Larder Lake on the way to a Christmas party, carrying liquor and holiday bonuses for local gold miners.
But there were other stories that the cab was hauling gold bars or gold ore, or that is was a bootlegger delivering alcohol to mining camps in the Larder Lake area.
Ploeger spent 35 years searching for the taxi and then while fishing in a local derby last year, he saw something come up on the screen of his side imager that he uses to look deep into the lake for fish. Or sunken treasure.
