Niagra barge makes a move.
Something moved after a century.
In 1918, a barge-like vessel broke free from its tugboat and got lodged in the shallow rapids above Niagara Falls. The two men on board were rescued, but the boat remained stuck in the same spot for more than a century. Until this Halloween, when gusty winds and strong rains pushed the wreck further downriver. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart...Y0MDYzMzEwMwS2

It was caused by strong Wly winds that caused Lake Eire to surge to the east end and the water height and strong winds dislodged the wreck.
This is fairly common but wth the lake water levels very high it worsened the situation.
