At the Quaco Museum step back in time and enjoy the rich shipbuilding and seafaring history of the Bay of Fundy. The stories of the people who settled its shores, of the over 500 wooden sailing ships built on our beaches, how they were built, the families who built and sailed them, and the role of the women at sea during the Golden Age of Sail.
Land acknowledgement
The Saint John Region is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Nations. This territory is covered by Peace and Friendship Treaties signed with the British Crown in the 1700s. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources, but recognized Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency pays respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land, and is committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, collaboration, and reconciliation.
