M. I. Wilcox is a fresh water dive site, located in Ontario, Canada.
The M. I. Wilcox was launched on May 2, 1868. 38 years and one week later, on May 9, 1906, she met her fate. She was caught in a southwest storm in the western basin of Lake Erie in only 26’ of water as she was blown into the shoals and shoreline of Colchester, Ontario. This ship’s standing rigging was wire cable, a luxury in its day, and is a noticeable feature on this wreck. The deadeyes, blocks, winches, anchors, donkey boilers, steering gear, and ship’s wheel are still there. Brought to you by Ontario Underwater Council: http://www.underwatercouncil.com/
