Hi Folks:
Sorry to use up bandwidth for this sort of thing, but we need
publicity quickly and desperately. Please forward this to any person or
lists (rec.scuba??) you think might be interested.
In the Fall of 1997, the Tobermory Maritime Association was formed,
with the immediate objective to find a boat to sink just outside the
limits Fathom Five National Park. Tobermory is a town of 500 on the tip
of the Bruce Peninsula that separates Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
Fathom Five National Marine Park surrounds the town, and houses more
than twenty-five shipwrecks. The town depends heavily on diving and
tourism during the summer months for it's economy. The wrecks are all
wooden and remarkably well preserved for "natural" wrecks, but lately
many divers have become unsatisfied with these wrecks, expecting to see
more intact wrecks such as the artificial reefs in B.C. and elsewhere.
The T.M.A. has found a ship that would be an ideal wreck, and can be
bought for it's scrap value . The scrap value is $40,000 (Cdn.), and we
are now in the process of raising the money to buy it. Unfortunately,
the seller will sell it to the scrap yards if we cannot buy it by the
end of the spring.
We are obtaining permission to issue tax receipts for donations, and
would appreciate donations of any amount. For more information, please
email b.greenhouse@ut*.ca*.
