    Easy sew, with clear instructions and true fit.

Fathom Five was the first National Marine Park to be designated in Canada.  Located at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, the park lies within the traditional territories of the Saugeen Ojibway First Nation, known as Anishinaabekiing.  

 

This protected area of underwater, shoreline, & island ecosystems includes several rare plant species and 22 historical shipwrecks.  In Canada, there are a total of 60 varieties of orchids, 43 of which can be found within the relatively small land base of Fathom Five Park.  The ships that lie on the bottom of the Bay include schooners, steamers, and tug boats, some of which are visible from the surface and others that can be visited only with scuba gear.  A quote from Shakespeare’s The Tempest inspired the naming of this Park.
