Weekend getaway at Flowerpot Island in Tobermory, Ontario
History:
- Big Tub Lighthouse
The lighthouse was originally lit in 1885 and is still used up to this day. The lighthouse has a focal height of 13.2 metres (43 ft) and has a range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).
- Shipwreck
Damaged off Cove Island in August 1885, the Sweepstakes was then towed to the head of Big Tub Harbour, in the Fathom Five National Marine Park, in Tobermory Ontario, by a tugboat known as Jessie. The schooner suffered serious damage and was not repaired in time, causing it to sink in September 1885.
- Flowerpot Island
There were originally three flowerpots on the island (one fell down in 1903). These seastacks were created by waves pounding at the cracks in the limestone, gradually wearing away the softer lower limestone from the harder dolomite top. The resulting shape resembles a giant flowerpot.
This Island is part of Fathom Five National Marine Park. Thousands of years ago, water levels were 100 meters higher. Up to 2,000 years ago, these flower pot shaped rock formations developed. The island is a busy tourist attraction for its beautiful landscape & camping/hiking trails. Coyotes are sometimes found on the island, they cross over during winter months when the water is frozen. Flowerpot Island is about 6km away from Tobermory, a 15 minute Ferry Ride.
