Launched as the "ALBERTA" at Desronto in 1888, this small tug was one of the only tug boats built with a centerwheel paddle.
Lying only about 100m of shore she quietly laid upside down known to only a few, in August 2000 Harold Vandeburg, Dan Mackay and Tom Rutledge looked up her coordinates and relocated her.
Kingstonunderwater is the personal property of Tom Rutledge and all pictures are by Tom Rutledge, occasionally Photos from Dan Mackay, James Pate, Anne Campbell, Barry Mutch, Kevin Ripley and Sean Felts may get posted as they would more then likely use my camera on a dive with me or have access to their own equipment in most of those cases I would be the subject as well.
Kingston Underwater supports the Great Lakes Underwater Explorer Club (GLUE) out of Northern Tech Diver - Divers that practice and preach wreck conservation like Save Ontario Shipwrecks.
