Local Dive Sites | Henry C. Daryaw
This 219 ft. x 35 ft. x 13 ft. steel freighter built in France in 1919 suffered
an unforgiving gash on her starboard side running over a shoal. The bow area has
a number of items of interest to divers and many enjoy a visit up to the keel
of the Daryawand do a "keel walk". This area lets you view the gash
in her bottom that sent her to her fate.
Located upstream from the Brockville "narrows", the Daryaw rests
upside down at a depth of 95 ft. with a very quick surface current. Divers are
continually impressed with the large twin props and rudder that meet them as they
descend the buoy line.
