EASTCLIFFE HALL (Sunken Ship of the St. Lawrence River)

EASTCLIFFE HALL (built 1954)

The sunken ship near Crysler Marina (between Ingleside and Morrisburg, Ontario) has become a popular site for divers...

Sank in 1970 after reportedly hitting the north side of the shore, and subsequently over-correcting and smashing into an obstacle on the south side of the Seaway channel.

Official reports state that alcohol was the leading factor in the accident which claimed many lives.















 






While I'll never see the wreck for my own eyes, the video quality of the divers' footage is getting so good that it's like being there...

Planning to eventually put together a collection of maps and images. For now, saving the links of a few neat YouTube videos.

Five minute video with many awesome moments in the first four minutes.

Was surprised to see a lone Rock Bass, swimming among the hundred or so Smallmouth Bass...

Granted, he's a particularly large specimen. Doesn't even look like a panfish anymore.







A Walleye comparable in weight to that Rock Bass...












Rusty metal...














All kinds of growth covering every inch of the hull.
