Better leave 'yourself more than an hour to make the trip there and back and put on a good pair of walking shoes but the rewards are breaktaking scenery and a sense of tracing history. Back at the harbour, anyone who has ever been curious to see what it's like to be on one of those huge freighters, can get a taste in the Marine Museum located near the elevators. It's the wheel house of the S.S. Jay C. Morse, built in 1907. When the ship was wrecked for salvage, the Town of Goderich, and Huron County bought the wheel house and set it up as a museum. Across the harbour is the Domtar Sifto Salt mine that sinks 1700 feet below the surface of Lake Huron where huge tunnels, 43 feet high, create an underground city complete with its own highways and repairs shops for the equipment. Each year about 100 freighters tie up to haul away the salt and thousands of trucks and railway cars keep the flow alive in winter. Down here by the waterfront too is agriculture's sister in the food industry, fishing. Several fishing tugs from Goderich venture out on Lake Huron daily to harvest the freshwater fishing grounds and you can buy fish fresh off the boat. The beach, and the newer beaches called St. Christopher's Beach and St. Christopher's Cove to the west, provide plenty of chance for swimming or sunbathing.
