Dive the Tiller Wreck, Lake Ontario 2023

Join us on beautiful Lake Ontario and dive our local Tiller Wreck, a stunning, fragile wooden schooner 100′ long by 25′ wide. The ship is in great shape and even features 2 beautiful masts, a gorgeous rudder, cargo holds, a picturesque bow, windlass, anchor and stove.

The Tiller Wreck is an unknown 2 masted wooden schooner sitting on a 45 degree angle on the starboard side 6 km’s off Port Dalhousie in 113ffw.  The wreck was named by Len Rooney on our 1st trip out because it used a tiller which moved the rudder back and forth instead of a stearing wheel.

This wreck is perfect for Advanced Level Divers and is an Ideal Nitrox Dive for more bottom time. Visibility is usually 60 feet or better with average temperature of 40 degrees at depth. A Drysuit is Highly recommended to make this a more enjoyable dive.
