The Iron Scow, a 107-year-old wreck that ran aground above Niagara Falls in 1918, is deteriorating and shifting downstream. The scow, which became stranded when two men narrowly avoided plunging over Horseshoe Falls, has been a landmark for over a century. Erosion caused the barge to break apart in 2022, and recently, the bow section dislodged and moved further down the Niagara River. According to Niagara Parks, the wreck is now slowly breaking apart. The Iron Scow has become a symbol of the falls' history and natural power.
