Sweeptakes also known as Sweeps was a Canadian schooner that was built in Burlington, Ontario in 1867. The schooner sank in Big Tub Harbour in 1885 after it was towed due to being damaged at Cove Island in 1867.
Today the remains of the schooner is still visible in Fathom Five National Marine Park in Tobermory, Ontario. The schooner is said to be one of the popular wrecks within the park and is often visited by tour boats, divers and snorkelers. The wreck can clearly be seen in the clear water and is at a depth of 20 feet.
