According to the Wiki article today is the day in 1678 when le Griffon was launched by Sieur de la Salle. 'Le Griffon was the first full-sized sailing ship on the upper Great Lakes of North America and led the way to modern commercial shipping in that part of the world'.The wreck may have been found - see here for more on this legendary craft.
