⚓ The Story Behind the Name: SS James Carruthers
Carruthers Cottage is named in honor of the SS James Carruthers, a Canadian Great Lakes freighter built in 1913. Tragically, during the infamous "White Hurricane" of November 1913, the Carruthers sank in Lake Huron with all 22 crew members aboard. Despite extensive searches, the wreck has never been located, making it one of the Great Lakes' enduring maritime mysteries. Debris and bodies washed ashore near Point Clark, linking the area to this poignant chapter in nautical history

EXPLORE POINT CLARK
There's a slice of heaven tucked away on the shores of Lake Huron. Not many know about it but those that do simply love it. Tiny roads meander through the woods and pass family cottages that are generations old. The landscape blends into Lake Huron and the coast of silky sand plays host to the laughter of children and sandcastles. The historical lighthouse is newly restored and is the shiny diamond on Point Clark. And you can see it from your beach!
