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 dive site is a fantastic place to get great shots of macro subjects. The Christmas tree worms were perfect, and there is everything here from puffers to sharks. There are lionfish all over the place here and was lucky to get this shot. I was lucky to be aboard the aquacat on my first live-a-board dive trip and it was amazing. The crew and vessel were top shelf, and look forward to returning again and again.
