Avalon Voyager
From WikiAlpha
The Avalon Voyager was the third and last name of a small freighter that was shipwrecked off Cape Hurd, the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, in the North American Great Lakes in 1980.[1][2] She was built in Clarenville, Newfoundland in 1947. Her cargo capacity was less than 200 tons.
She was built as a fishing vessel.[3] She spent the last several years in Kincardine, Ontario, as a floating restaurant. On October 29, 1980, she proceeded under her own power to Owen Sound, to serve as a floating restaurant there.
