Local Dive Sites | Wolfe Islander II
This 164 ft. long ferry was built in Collingwood, Ontario in 1946 and named
"Ottawa Maybrook" and was destined to China as a gift, however this
was not completed when China became communist. The Wolfe Islander II was then
converted to a car ferry and she serviced Wolfe Island to Kingston for many years
and was intentionally sunk September 21, 1985 as a diving site.
Resting in 80 ft. of water she is normally buoyed for visitor divers.
