The remains of 14 ships include four Royal Canadian Navy warships, one U.S. navy destroyer, two whalers, two Canadian Pacific Railway steam tugs, a deep sea rescue tug,  a wood-hulled barquentine and three Cape Horn windjammers. The ships were sunk, starting in 1936 and continuing for 25 years, as breakwaters for log-booming operations.
