Hi Everyone,

​

We will be hosting our 16th annual Pig Roast on Saturday, July 11th 2026.

We will be offering you an opportunity to visit the Eastcliffe Hall. 

The Eastcliffe Hall is located in Lake St. Lawrence, West of Cornwall in Morrisburg Ontario. It is accessible only by boat from Chrysler Park Marina. 

​

History

The Eastcliffe Hall was a steel freighter of 3 335 tons. She was carrying “pig iron” and met her destiny when she struck a shoal near Chrysler Shoal at 4:00AM. She sank in a few minutes and claimed 9 lives out of the 21 persons aboard. She rests in the shipping channel and became a navigational hazard. Her superstructure has been dynamited in order to clear the way.

Location

The best place to reach the wreck is to launch your boat from the Chrysler Beach & Marina. The wreck is at about 1500 ft west of the concrete cylinder-shaped abutment crowned with a green tower numbered 73. This tower is visible from the marina. Usually, two jugs are attached to the wreck, one at the stern (east side) and the other one near the bow.

Technical information

There is the presence of a strong current along the descent line but it disappears once you reach the wreck’s deck. You will be shielded from it in the hull. Precautions must be taken to ensure a safe dive over this wreck because sharp pieces of metal lies scattered around the wreck due to the explosion. Her cargo of metal bars rests on the bottom and are an artificial home for fishes. Bring a light because some area of the ship are shielded from the sunlight. Penetration is possible but should be performed by experienced divers only.

 

​

As in past years we will offer a delicious meal, but we kindly ask all those who attend to bring with them a tasty side whether it be a salad, fruit or dessert platter or even your finest dish, whatever it is, we know it will be delicious. This year the meal will be $20 per person (children under 13 free).

We have made arrangements to camp at the Chrysler Park Marina on Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11th. Camping will be $20 per person, per night.

Cost for diving for members will be $20 for a one tank dive, $30 for a two tank dive and non members $30 for a one tank dive and $40 for a two tank dive.  As in the past we will provide a shuttle service to the Dive Boat who will be buoyed to the Eastcliffe Hall.

Please let us know if you are interested in participating in the fun event.
