Lake Ontario
City of Sheboygan
This wreck is accessible from both Picton and Kingston. Depending on the speed of your boat, the ride from Kingston is a bit long but the wreck is well worth it. Sheboygan was a medium size three masted schooner that sunk with all hands off Amherst Island in 1915. The cause of loss was mostly bad weather, but it was reported that at the time of sinking she was quite overloaded.
Today, the wreck is sitting on the bottom of Lake Ontario at 105 ft. It is upright and mostly intact with masts fallen down acress the deck. Highlights of the dive are numerous and include variou deadeyes and pieces of rigging; stern that is starting to collapse; variou sartifacts on the bow.
Usual suspects, like silt, depth and temperature are the main hazards. Note that it is possible to swim through the lower level, but highly NOT RECOMMENDED unless oyu have a perfect boyancy control - there is probably only 2-3 feet clearance.
