Description

Waome Wreck – Lake Muskoka

Dive the Shipwreck Waome is located in Lake Muskoka, a few hundred yards southwest of the north end of Keewaydin Island (one of the Seven Sisters Islands). The Waome is a 78′ wooden steamer and was first launched in 1912 and called the MINK. The Waome sunk in October 1934 and now sits upright on the lake’s bottom at 70ft.

The Waoma sits in tannon water meaning this wreck is similar to a night dive.
