Plan for a shallow shore wreck with a narrow access point, careful trim, and an exterior-first approach because the interior silts out fast.
About Wee Hawk (Wreck)
Wee Hawk is a shallow Cardinal wreck in the St. Lawrence River, with shore access at the lock gate and a compact profile that makes it easy to study from the outside. It is best handled as an exterior wreck dive or training site, because the interior silts quickly and the structure is unstable and deceptive. Expect a short walk-in, cold freshwater, and conditions that depend more on trim, visibility, and local flow than on depth.
