Elizabeth and Mary (Barque)
Organization
"The Elizabeth and Mary, found as a wreck in 1994 in l’Anse aux Bouleaux at Baie-Trinité, was one of the vessels belonging to Sir William Phips’ fleet that besieged Québec City in 1690 during King William’s War. One of four ships that were lost returning home after a disastrous campaign, the 45-ton barque carried provisions and a company of militiamen from Dorchester, Massachusetts. A rare example of a 17th-century barque, the wreck and its rich archaeological collection provide a wealth of information on the lives of those on board and on shipbuilding in North America."- Designations of National Historic Significance
