About Lillie Parsons (Wreck)
Lillie Parsons is an upside-down wooden schooner on the Sparrow Island side of the Brockville narrows. The wreck and island wall create a classic drift profile: boat-only access, a quick current, and a planned pickup make the dive work best for experienced wreck divers who can stay streamlined and follow the exit line. The appeal is the broken hull shape, the island contour, and the move with the flow rather than a static tour.

Scuba Diving
Classic wreck-and-drift scuba dive; follow the island contour and plan the pickup before leaving the hull.

Snorkeling
Not suited to snorkeling; the site is boat-only and current-swept, so it is a scuba dive rather than a snorkel stop.
