Resting in the crystal-clear, cold waters of Fathom Five National Marine Park near Tobermory, the schooner Sweepstakes is remarkably preserved. Sunk in 1885, it lies in just 6 metres (20 feet) of water, making it easily visible from glass-bottom boats and accessible for snorkelers and novice divers. Its intact hull and visible deck structures offer a ghostly glimpse into 19th-century Great Lakes shipping. The surrounding clear water and shallow depth give it an almost ethereal, museum-like quality right beneath the surface.
