Old Sow Whirlpool Between Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada, and Moose Island, Eastport, ME
Old Sow is the largest natural whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere and is one of the five significant whirlpools worldwide. It was formed due to nearby tidal dams built during a failed tidal power project in the 1930s and can be seen on boat charter trips. For those willing to take the risk, the Old Sow Survivor’s Association makes “Survival Certificates” for people who pass through the whirlpool and survive!
