Canada lowered a retired Boeing 737 onto the seabed off Vancouver Island; the 100-foot jet now sits nearly 90 feet underwater as an artificial reef for marine life

A Boeing 737 aircraft that was originally the part of the Canadian Airlines fleet now lies nearly 90 feet underwater and serves the role of an artificial reef for marine life. The 100-foot jet was decommissioned by Air Canada due to age and structural problems, stripped of all usable components and the airframe was donated to the ARSBC. It was sunk by the ARSBC near Chemainus, BC on January 14, 2006.
