Aloha- Effie Mai

This location has been nicknamed The Stacked hulls, Primarily due to the fact that there are 2 hulls here, one on top of the other in piggyback fashion. The wrecks are classified as unknown. But it is believed that these wrecks were part of the Kingston harbors cleanup that occurred around the years of 1925. The anchor park was created by local divers finding lost anchors and transporting them to this location. As more anchors are found this site will expand.

This location is a good spot to dive when the waters are too rough to travel by boat out onto the lake.
From shore, it is recommended that you have a minimum of 160 cubic feet of air to travel the full distance. There is a line pinned on the bottom that leaves from the west side of the beach, at Portsmouth Olympic Harbor. The line is attached to an old pipeline. Follow the pipeline south-west out approximately 200 feet from shore. The line will be on the left side of you and will take you to an anchor park, that is in approximately in 15 feet of water.
Once you reach the 3500-pound marine stock anchor the line will lead you in a southbound direction. The travel time, one way from here is approximately 15 minutes.

George A. Marsh Wreck

Cornwall was first named "Kingston" in 1855. She experienced several name and configuration changes in her career from a floating passenger palace in her early days as Kingston to a wrecking tug known as Cornwall. Every name change was a result of a major fire or other accident.

As the Kingston, she burned almost to the waterline in 1872 and was rebuilt and renamed Bavarian. She then burned again a year later and was rebuilt and renamed Algerian. She burned again in 1905 and upon that rebuilt she acquired her final name. She worked into late 1920's and then anguished at the dock for almost a decade before being towed to a ship's graveyard and dynamited. Despite the fact that she was scuttled, the paddlewheels survived as did major pieces of the wreck.

The most prominent feature of this wreck is of course the paddlewheels. These are of different construction that Comet's - they are smaller and the paddles are set on an angle. The boilers are also a key feature.

This wreck is moored by Preserve Our Wrecks.
Sitting in 95 ft on the bottom of lake Ontario near Kingston, Davie is a very interesting wreck - there is the whole crane a few feet off the starboard side; there is an lifeboat; pilothouse; some kind of boiler and the wheel is still standing in its place.

Hazards include the always present zebras and very fine silt - I have witnessed visibility going from 30 ft+ to zero in a matter on minutes after a group of out of control divers descended on the wreck.
