Nipigon

In a project organized by Jean-Pierre Bouillon, the Nipigon will be sunk next august in an artificial reef project.  The ship is a decommissioned Canadian destroyer like the Yukon, which was sunk off San Diego.  This ship will become an alternate site for divers as the Empress is the only wreck to dive.  It will be sunk in 100 feet of water and according to the locals, this one is going to sit upright....
