To discover, see and do...
The Musée maritime du Québec invites you to set sail for adventure in the heart of “Mariner country.” The museum is dedicated to studying and showcasing the maritime heritage of the St. Lawrence all the way up to the Great Lakes and the Arctic. It pays tribute to the people of the River and honours the memory of Captain Joseph-Elzéar Bernier (1852-1934), originally of L’Islet, a tireless navigator and great Arctic explorer. In addition to fascinating exhibitions, a collection of traditional boats and a display of model ships, the museum gives visitors the opportunity to climb aboard two impressive ship museums in drydock, accessible from the engine room to the wheelhouse. Get a taste of the sailor’s life and test your seamanship.
