Itinerary description

The hull of the vessel is still intact with the windlass and a portion of the bow rail still in place. For both conservation and safety reasons no penetration of the wreck is permitted. One of the most popular wrecks in the park, it is visited by divers, snorkelers and tour boat passengers.

Tobermory is home to two breathtaking harbours, lovingly named Little Tub and Big Tub Harbours. A naturalist's paradise, photography, diving, hiking and kayaking are some of the activities available. For leisure -seekers, a stroll around the picturesque harbour offers many quaint shops, galleries and patio dining.

Big Tub Harbour offers the atmosphere of a quiet village, rich in historical charm as a fishing village.

The cool, crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay behold some of Canada’s best preserved shipwrecks, many dating back to the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. Tobermory has been deemed the “SCUBA Diving Capital of Canada”!
