Shipwrecks

Historical immersion in the depths

In the mysterious depths of the tumultuous waters of the St. Lawrence River, Ungava Bay, and the Ottawa River, discover the stories of shipwrecks that have marked the history and imagination of the people of Charlevoix. Let yourself be carried away by spectacular images propelling you into the cargo hold of a ship, the wheelhouse of a schooner assaulted by the raging elements, or even underwater, diving towards a submerged wreck. The tour of interactive digital stations features moving testimonials from survivors, often anonymous rescuers, and witnesses to maritime tragedies. Immerse yourself in an intriguing world of never-before-seen images, archival press clippings, and rare recovered artifacts that recall souls lost at sea.
