Maritime Museum of Charlevoix

Description

Journey though the unique history of wooden schooners

Get your plans all ship-shape and sail on down to the Maritime Museum of Charlevoix. A visit here is a spectacular voyage of discovery into the fascinating history of wooden schooners in Charlevoix and their crossing on the St. Lawrence River. The permanent exhibition, *Of Ships and Men* tells the story of the shipyard built in 1946. Hear stories of the men who built and sailed wooden schooners on the St. Lawrence, before their disappearance from the river landscape in the 1970s. Peek into the sawmill and the workshop. See the winch and sleigh, and step onboard four boats to learn the history of shipping and coastal navigation. Don't miss the outdoor exhibit *Parc des navigateurs* nestled in a forest that cultivates the very varieties of trees needed to build a wooden schooner!
