Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père, Maritime museum and lighthouse in Rimouski, Canada.
The Maritime Historic Site features a submarine, a lighthouse station, and detailed exhibits about Canadian maritime transportation on the St Lawrence River.
The museum preserves artifacts from the RMS Empress of Ireland, which sank near Pointe-au-Pere in 1914 with substantial loss of life.
The site maintains three main exhibitions that document navigation practices, maritime disasters, and life aboard submarines in the Canadian waters.
Located at 1000 Rue du Phare, the museum opens Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM between February and June.
The HMCS Onondaga submarine, measuring 90 meters in length, stands as the only submarine open for public tours in Canada.
