Duke of Connaught topic in French Wikipedia "The Duke of Connaught is a dry dock built in 1912 in England. It was operated by the Canadian Vickers Company in the Port of Montreal. On 22 November 1988, while being towed to Sydney, Nova Scotia, for dismantling, a storm caused the towline to rupture. The dry dock was cut in two during its drift and its parts finally ran aground shortly afterwards on the shore of the Magdalen Islands."

The back portion has sunk. What has remained over the years is the fore part for this dry dock wreck.
