The Wolfe Islander II was a ferry that served between Kingston, Ontario and Wolfe Island (Ontario) between 1946 and 1975, when it was replaced by the Wolfe Islander III.
Originally named the Ottawa Maybrook, it was built in Collingwood, Ontario to be included in an economic aid package to China in 1946. However, as World War II ended, the aid package was canceled and she was converted into a side-loading 16-car ferry and renamed the Wolfe Islander II. It has an approximate length of 164 feet. Between 1975 and 1985, it was kept as a reserve ferry to be used when the Wolfe Islander III was being serviced.
The boat was purposefully sunk on 21 September 1985 in the waters near Dawson's Point of Wolfe Island and still serves as a scuba diving attraction today.
Between 1904 and 1946, the S.S. Thomas Fawcett (renamed the 'Wolfe Islander' in 1905) served in the same capacity before it was replaced by the Wolfe Islander II.
