Yea, probably too heavy & dangerous to winch it ashore.

I grew up in Niagara. Always been a tale of folklore for sure.
I'm sure they could move it with today's technology somehow, but I doubt it will go much further anyway. The water above the falls is only 2-3 feet deep and I'm sure that thing weighs a LOT... It has been deteriorating and rusting for years so maybe it will break apart one day and then go over in pieces. Who knows..
You can see it in the picture (satellite view) It's just south of Gull Island. Has a long way to go and very shallow water before it would go over..
