Description:

In the 19th century, Quebec City was one of the most important ports in the world. Shipbuilding and the timber trade were booming industries that shaped the local economy and society. In 1863, more than 1,600 ships and close to 25,000 sailors passed through the port. The interpretation centre, located beside the Louise Basin, evokes the bustling activity on the wharves at the time of the legendary raftsmen and shipbuilders. Our exhibits and collection of old photographs will take you on an unforgettable journey back into the history of the Port of Quebec in the 19th century!
