View the Old Sow
- The Old Sow is the Western Hemisphere's largest whirlpool. When
conditions are right, it can open a hole in the sea 40 feet deep in a
swriling area hundreds of feet wide. Smaller surrounding whirlpools are
called "piglets." The whirlpool lies between Eastport's north end and Deer
Island, New Brunswick. The Old Sow is caused by fierce currents running
through Passamaquoddy Bay. The whirlpool is created when the regular flood
tide, which can rise to 22 feet high and flows northerly up the bay, and a
similar tide that flows from the west, between Deer Island and Indian
Island, rush into the confined Western Passage of Passamaquoddy Bay at
right angles.
