Decompressing

The price a diver pays for time spent at depth... Hanging around in shallower water, shedding unwanted nitrogen.

Presumably, this old ship settled stern-first as this part of the wreck is badly broken up.

The size of the bow is apparent in this image.

Two anchors grace either side of the bow. Unfortunately, their weight is causing stress on the hull.

Surveying the deck of Arabia

The deck is littered with rigging and artifacts, including a bot-bellied stove, gangway and numerous deadeyes. Visit the Tobermory Museum to view dishes and other goodies from this wreck, salvaged before it was made illegal.

And finds it needs some spring cleaning!

The bow of the Philo Scoville

This vessel crashed stern-first into Russel Island near Tobermory, after dragging her anchors. The Captain was crushed as he tried to leap onto Russel Island! And yes, that is rigging from that fallen mast!

Two divers return to the upper end of the Forest City.

This ship hit Bears Rump Island in a dense fog. She held fast for several weeks, before locals set fire to the section above the waterline, in order to salvage the nails in her hull, for local boat building!
