Tobermory
At the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, Tobermory is named after the seacoast village on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. Big Tub Harbour, the deepest natural harbour on the Great Lakes, contains two nineteenth century shipwrecks which can be seen through a diver's mask, a glass bottomed boat or over the side of a cruise boat. Regular vehicle and passenger ferry service operates between Tobermory and Manitoulin Island from mid-May until mid-October.
Fathom Five National Marine Park
This freshwater ecosystem covers and protects the 22 known historical shipwrecks and the 19 islands located around the top of the Bruce Peninsula. Even with the many historic lighthouses, this rocky coastline has claimed many sail and steam ships.
