A boat worth $200,000 caught fire at a Midland Bay marina on Wednesday afternoon, Southern Georgian Bay OPP confirmed.
Emergency crews were called to the scene at about 1 p.m. after the unoccupied 40′ Sea Ray boat became fully engulfed in flames, resulting in large plumes of smoke.
Police say this alerted numerous marina and downtown Midland bystanders before the boat eventually sank at the pier.
