SPECULAR Come explore your marine heritage in ErieQuest with Waruwanago Boat Charters, the PREMIER charter service in the Pelee Passage.

The SPECULAR is a 278 foot vessel that sank on August 27, 1900. From the deck, divers will often see silhouetted above the large twin boilers, schools of bass. Large anchor chain leads divers to two large anchors. Just forward and to the starboard lies the wooden stock anchor. The clam anchor lies to the port of the bow. Small winches are tucked under her railings. Also on display is a triple expansion steam engine. Cargo of high grade specular iron ore covers her length. Depth 37 feet.
