Built in France in 1919, Henry C. Daryaw was navigating the river for Montreal on November 21, 1941 when she ran up against a high bottom to sink in the St-Laurent River very close to Brockville in Ontario. The fog would have been interfering with safe navigation. If most of crew left unscathed, a mechanic did not have this chance and drowned. Since, the ship rests in more than 25 meters of water, in a narrow canyon where prevails a stiff current. The divers benefit from the holds which contained coal for the last voyage for to take shelter from that current and swim without too much effort.
