A number of factors have combined to make Tobermory "The Shipwreck Capital of
Canada". In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Tobermory was a busy and important
port for both the timber and fishing trade. We also have two deep and sheltered
harbours that made us an ideal refuge during storms. That, combined with the
treacherous waters of Lake Huron and primitive navigation of that day, meant
that many ships met their doom on the way to Tobermory.Today, our outstanding visibility, relative lack of zebra mussel development and excellent scuba diving infrastructure make us a premiere diving destination.
Enjoy a virtual tour of a few of our historic shipwrecks in the crystal clear waters of Lake Huron & Georgian Bay.
