Description

It is :

• The story of the 1690 sinking of the ship Elizabeth and Mary of Admiral William Phips' fleet told...
• A page of Quebec history revisited...
• A treacherous coast for sailors to explore...

The Center aims to be a lively place for exchanges, experiences and discoveries, which reconnects visitors to the maritime history of the North Shore and the St. Lawrence River. Through some artifacts from shipwrecks, including the oldest known in Quebec, that of the Elisabeth & Mary, and the work of local artists inspired by the river, the center promotes maritime heritage. On one side, an archaeological exhibition shows everyday objects of sailors who traveled the waters of the river, and on the other, artistic products recall our link with the river.
