Varför värden valde detta boende
Pike Bay is a bay in the Northern Bruce Peninsula, off Lake Huron in south-western Ontario, Canada. Pike Bay is located 50 km south of Tobermory and 60 km north of Owen Sound. The area now hosts seasonal cottages, year-round homes and seasonal tourism.
History
This area of the Northern Bruce Peninsula was historically used for logging and hunting in the late 19th century. The logging business of the period required large barges to enter the relatively small bay causing ships to frequently run ashore. The most famous incident (and the main source for tourism) involved the loss of the barge Etta and the steamer Eclipse.
1883 shipwreck
On November 21, 1883, the barge Etta was being towed by the steamer Eclipse from Tobermory to Southampton. The crew logs detail a rough storm with gale force winds. The two ships were separated in the storm during the night. The Etta was cast adrift and ran ashore on Little Pike Bay beach. The sole crew member then walked 16 miles to Wiarton to file a report with the Port Authorities. The seven crew members of the Eclipse all perished when the steamer capsized in Lake Huron near Pine Tree Harbour.
Current use
At the turn of the 20th century, the land was cleared enough to allow for construction of permanent hunting lodges. From there land was eventually secured by private owners and turned into seasonal cottage grounds. Shipwreck enthusiasts, lured by the Etta and Eclipse disaster, have turned the small camping area into a tourist destination.
Native Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge the traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway Odawa and Pottawatomie Nations. And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.
