Navy Bay
HMS St Lawrence
This is a real historic dive from the war of 1812. The ship was constructed in
The wreck site does involve a little bit of a swim but is well worth it. There is not much left of this once mighty ship. Entry and exits is done best through the Domino Theater parking lot. You just have to make a turn onto

Presently there is just ribbing planking and dead eyes on the ship. There is usually a white plastic jug tied off of the wreck. There is a bearing of 300 degrees to the wreck. It sits in 20 feet of water. During the summer there can be lots of lake weed so swimming half way to the site is recommended. The site has been tagged. In the boating season there is traffic and it is wise to take a flag with you. The rocks at the entry can be slippery and depending on the wind there may be surface waves. In the bay there is abundance of fish but, with it only being 20 feet there is a lot of sunfish, rock bass and small mouth bass. Parking is at the marina parking lot. The road is used often in the summer so go slow. Drop your gear at the entry point then park up the hill as there is no parking right at the water. This is an easy enjoyable dive.
