Description
The story has it that this ship was built in Lauzon, Quebec, 1914 and was originally used as a St. Lawrence River ferry. It was called Le Progress. In 1991 a wooden facade was built over the steel hull and the masts and crows nests were added to make her look like Jacques Cartier's 1535 ship Le Grande Hermine. She was re-named Le Grande Hermine and used as a restaurant in Montreal. After a few moves and some unpaid dock-age fees, she was towed to her present location in Jordan Harbour, St Catharines, Canada, where she has been ever since. A deliberately set fire in 2003 burned off all the wood finishing and it has been left in its rusted state ever since.
