Guess they were biting out there:

It appears that this is part of what they are doing right now. Also In the past NOAA research has partnered with Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute and the University of Rhode Island when they come across shipwrecks while mapping. https://sonarguy.com/lake-ontario/

I believe I read that there were some 200+ shipwrecks along the southern shore of Lake Ontario, most are in shallow water where they been investigated thoroughly or even salvaged. Dive teams are limited to something around 75 fow (please corrected me if I am mistaken), wrecks in deeper water could not be inspected as well.  With newer sonar technology and drones they are able to do some amazing things.
