Sunk in the shallows of Big Tub harbour are a couple of shipwrecks. This one, The City of Grand Rapids lies in about 10′ of water and is clearly visible.

Yes, the water is really that colour, and crystal clear with visibility to about 70′ deep, which makes for some serious vertigo when walking along the docks of this natural deep water harbour.

Fog in the Big Tub.

Early morning fog last Sunday in Big Tub Harbour, Tobermory, Ont.  While looking at the image, imagine the sound of some seagulls, a fog horn and other watery things, that is what it was like.

Tobermory, Ont.

Big Tub Harbour Lighthouse.

We spent the weekend up in Tobermory, Ont. (it was our 16th anniversary) . We have never spent any amount of time here, but have wanted to for several years. This is a small “dive town” on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula in Georgian Bay a haven for scuba divers as there are many shipwrecks in shallow water all around this area.

I snapped a few shots of the are and will post them here over the next couple days.

This is the lighthouse that guards the entrance to Big Tub harbour, one of several around the area, and the most accessible.
