If the wreck does exist, it is most probably an RCAF PBY Canso. Between 1935 and 1946, a total of 3,431 PBYs of all types, were built in North America; 730 of them in Canada. Over 300 of the type were built at nearby Montreal.
After the Second World War, Cansos served with the RCAF in photo reconnaissance and search and rescue roles, until they were finally retired November 1962.
The diver's details of the wreck are predictably vague and give rise to my innate scepticism. I remain to be surprised.
