Visit History at Bell Island

This area, off the coast of Newfoundland, is underappreciated. Bell Island is known for its four nearly intact shipwrecks. During the Second World War, German U-Boats sank each of these ships. The SS Lord Strathcona, PLM-27, SS Rose Castle, and SS Saganaga are all found no more than 80 feet below the surface.

The ships have been carefully maintained by the chilly coastal seas. The visibility is also outstanding. You may swim right close to the torpedo holes where the ships were sunk. Rose Castle is a must-see if you're up for a more difficult dive. It's the deepest of the four vessels, with a few thermoclines along the route. The water level drops.
