Canada’s maritime history is replete with stories of ill-fated schooners, container ships, trawlers, passenger vessels and other craft that have foundered due to nasty squalls, thick fog banks, menacing currents, jagged shoals, human error and a host of other perils. Over the centuries countless lives have been lost, and thousands of storm-battered ships have been violently pulled under into the stygian depths. In reverence to the thousands of shipwrecks entombed on the bottom of Canada’s Great Lakes, mariners have ominously nicknamed this recurrent zone of death and destruction, “Graveyard of the Great Lakes”. Such fearsome notoriety inspires throngs of intrepid scuba divers each year to visit Tobermory, Ontario, to go shipwreck diving in order to explore these watery time capsules.
