“I came across your name while trying to track down info on a particular ship’s remains near our family cottage in Georgian Bay.

The remains in question are in shallow water in a small by on the east end of Rose Island, directly south of Killbear Point in Parry Sound.

The story I’ve heard for years is that the owner of Rose Island, Rodney Watt exchanged the converted Fairmile for a couple of cottage lots on Rose Island but as he was cruising the waters around Georgian Bay he ran aground. He ran it ashore to keep it from sinking and it sat on shore rotting away for a number of years until someone torched it and it burned to the waterline. I first saw it as a shoreline wreck in 1977″.
