Kinghorn aka King Horn - Canada


Loading...
Kinghorn aka King Horn is a boat accessible fresh water dive site, located in Rockport, ON, Canada. This dive site has an average rating of 3.75 out of 5 from 8 scuba divers.

The Kinghorn was one of seven wheat-laden schooner-barges being towed by the Hiram A. Walker on Apr. 27, 1897. A storm sank three of the barges, with the Kinghorn leaking so badly it sank just before reaching Rockport.

Sits in about 90 ffw right off of Rockport. You’ll cover the whole wreck three times on a single tank dive.

Mainly intact. Great swim through opportunity. Lots of curious fish.
