La Grande Hermine

This is the abandoned ship “La Grande Hermine. Located at Jordan Harbour in Ontario Canada. La Grande Hermine is a replica of one of the 3 ships that Jacques Cartier used when exploring and the St. Lawrence river back in 1535. This is the largest one — measuring 140 feet long. It was constructed in 1914 in Quebec and began as a ferry on the St. Lawrence, and later became a cargo ship, and then a floating restaurant. It was in 1991 that it was converted into a replica ship. This abandoned ship came to Jordan Harbour in 1997 with the intention of being turned into another restaurant or a gambling venue (there a different variations on this) by a businessman, who unfortunately passed away before he could see his dream come true
