Known as the ‘shipwreck capital of Canada’, Tobermory lies between Ontario’s Georgian Bay and Fathom Five National Marine Park. Beneath these waters are the ghostly relics of 22 sunken ships. Many of which met their demise in the last two centuries, having struck one of the tiny islands or the hidden shoals peppering the shores. Seeing them in their watery grave from a glass-bottomed boat is just one way to spend your time in this tiny harbourside village
