#1 - Stacked Hulls
Canada, Ontario, Lake Ontario
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.

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.
