Lost 18 January 1942 while enroute to Halifax to join a convoy to Britian. Vessel was loaded with war suplies including munitions and ingots of copper and bismuth. Commercially salvaged in 1952 for the copper and bismuth. Current is the major hazard. Dive site is influenced by the significant tides of the Bay of Fundy to the west. Slack tide dives highly recommended. Current can be deceptive. Divers may experience no current at the surface yet find bottom current very difficult to handle. Underwater scooters (DPV's) will be useful. Visibility can be expected to be good, however, lighting conditions will probably be dark. Vessel was opened by salvors using explosives and cargo was removed with surface grabs. Penetration of some sections is possible. Munitions of various types dominate the dive site and should not be handled.

This is a wonderful dive for aquatic life sightings. This is a SHALLOW dive and must be dove with the tides. Here you will find an array of fishes, rays, horseshoe crab, other crab species incl. arrow crab, LARGE cushion stars, and many other interesting finds. There are 3 small wrecks that I know of. You will park at the Phil Foster park - which is nice, they have bathrooms and showers. There is a shower next to the play ground, directly out from that shower you will find the first wreck, approx. a 30 - 35' cabin cruiser, straight on out further from it you will find an approx. 30 - 35' sail boat. There is another wreck to your left, but I haven't dove it yet. The wrecks are teaming with life and a pleasure to take pics. Please do use caution as this is in a boating area and on an inter coastal waterway. ENJOY!
