Musée Maritime du Québec, Maritime museum in L'Islet, Canada
The Musée Maritime du Québec contains three museum ships, a historic building, and a riverfront park along the St Lawrence River.
Established in 1968 as Canada's first maritime museum, the institution evolved from a navigation school founded by Christian Brothers in 1853.
The museum preserves more than 15,000 maritime artifacts, including maps, books, and documents that detail Quebec's nautical traditions.
Located at 55 chemin des Pionniers Est, the museum operates guided tours with limited capacity, requiring advance ticket reservations.
The institution houses the HMCS Bras d'Or, a Canadian Armed Forces hydrofoil vessel, and the CCGS Ernest Lapointe icebreaker for public viewing.
