About Kinghorn (Wreck)
Kinghorn (Wreck) is a deep freshwater wreck in the St. Lawrence River with an intact hull profile, open holds and a route that rewards steady buoyancy more than stopping in one place. It is best approached as a boat dive with guide support, because current, boat traffic and silty interior spaces make the site more demanding than it looks from the surface, and the strongest value comes from a controlled pass over the wreck rather than a casual swim-by.
