Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Cap des Rosiers (cape of rosebushes) was named for the many wild rosebushes found there. The cape that forms the bay is a steep and is located at the eastern extremity of the Gaspe Peninsula. A line drawn from the northern shore of the St. Lawrence River to the cape, marks where the St. Lawrence River ends and the Gulf of St. Lawrence begins. It boasts the highest lighthouse in Canada (34 m, completed 1858), which is now a national historic site (1977).
A strategic contact point for shipping approaching the St Lawrence River, the cape was named by Samuel de Champlain and appears on his map of 1632. It was here, in 1759, that the French first observed the approach of the British fleet sent to capture Quebec City. |
