This boat is not sunken, this is clear evidence that the water levels are rising
duckbutt1234567101
Imagine having a cottage here and being like "im going to go for a swim...HELL NO"
fizixx
Ooookay. Aren't these things s'pose t'be on TOP of the water?

Please stop fat shaming sunken boats.

That's the sweepstakes. In tobermory ontario. No bodies. It sunk while being stored there. It was full of coal and not much else.

REMEMBER THE ARIZO....wait....nevermind.

Isn't that the ship they made out of concrete during WWII

Damn, man. I have no idea what happened to me, but I used to love looking at shipwreck imagery as a youngin'. Now I get so uncomfortable...

"Secondhand Lion", excellent movie. A little Calvin and Hobbes vibe.

I loved it! The vibe is what sold me on it

Another imgur post that tells me about a "big ass" but then shows only the front. What an AFT idea. Ok, I'm going to BOW out now.

Probably sunk intentionally to help create a reef.
Blazefast
Nice diving site

This is at Tobermory in Ontario, the boat was decommissioned and sunk on purpose, now it's just a tourist attraction. No exciting backstory.
Andreanne
I'm not calling ON boring but... nah it's still pretty sweet even without a cool story.
Notsuitableforpublic
I thought there were multiple sunken boats there?
joeliius
There are a lot of sunken boats. Tobermory has a marine park. I've personally dove on about 6 wrecks there. It's awesome bang for your buck.
Notsuitableforpublic
Excellent. I want to go camping there this summer. I would have been sad to learn there was just the one.
sarcastichumour
There are 2, if you take the boat cruise to Flowerpot island they take you overtop of both boats.
Notsuitableforpublic
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
sarcastichumour
Take the glass bottom boat if you can, its at the Tobermory Harbour. Flowpot Island is good too!
Notsuitableforpublic
Nice. Will do. :)
Eggbutts
Really? I don't understand why they'd not just scrap it
beewhy
There are dozens of wrecks in Tober, most legitimately sunk during storms. Tobermory features a massive limestone reef formed by (1/?)
beewhy
migrating glaciers. So there's huge ruts of stone outcropping. During storms ships could be tossed unto the reefs, and thus sunk. (2/?)
beewhy
It makes Tober super fun to dive! But a lot of these legit crashes sit very deep in the water (the crew tried to steer off the reef (3/?)
beewhy
before sinking). So over time some "shallow" wrecks have been sunk on purpose. Partly to make structure for marine life, mostly for (4/?)

Not illegal. I was on the deck of that ship last summer. The have gates up to keep you from going under the deck
Aussieausti
Man.. all the interesting shit is illegal or against the rules.. can't have any fun anymore..
iatha
It's only illegal if you get caught
TylerWarranty
I too am interested
PedanticAndIKnowIt
Don't dead dive inside
Decoyape11
Where?
303SnowWolf
But if you can't go inside where the dead bodies are, then the remains aren't to be seen.
DonPense
Barred divers to prevent damage to the deteriorating wreck.
gewalt
now I want to see the remains... bastard
Tento2
punny, very punny... "remains to be seen"
Piepersonsmom
Why is it illegal to dive?
GeorgeHWBushsGhost
.
gewalt
people get lost on ships when its on the surface and the lights are on
BeanBagKing
People get lost easily inside old wreaks, or stuck/caught on something, and run out of air.
goatmayo
Not illegal to dive around, just can't go inside. Exhalation bubbles may cause further damage to a fairly intact wreck
woodjoiner
God damn bubbles
docmuteki
This makes me just uncomfortable AF.
WumboPower
Yeah I'd be afraid of creatures in there.

Thank you. My personal horror being falling overboard at the Universal Studios Jaws ride. Nooooope.

I wouldnt say I have a fear of it (usually find it cool) this picture though just has me more anxious than a chicken in an alligator factory

You maybe entitled to a cash settlement.

You you wouldn't go for a swim?
shootyourgooCthulhu
I can't swim, but I'm up for a one time dive.

I snorkeled a Japanese shipwreck off the northwest coast of Bali a few months ago. Super interesting!
