Itinerary
1. Our captain will give you a brief history of the Charlottetown Harbour - the "Cradle of Confederation" when Canada first became a country, the Mi'kmaq who first settled the province, as well as a bit about the Charlottetown Harbour itself.
2. The Isola Solaretto will pass silently by beautiful Victoria Park, where you can see the cannons & armaments of this historic fort.
3. You will see the entrance to Charlottetown Harbour and famous Port-la-Joye (Fort Amherst) at Rocky Point.
4. Here you will see the "Birthplace of Canada" where the colonies Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick met for the first time in 1864 to determine that Canada would become a country.
5. Your captain will take you by several multi-million dollar houses, including a $15M home to show you some "rock armouring" for shoreline protection gone wrong. PEI is losing about 1 ft of shoreline every year and there is a right way & a wrong way to protect it.
6. View Peake's Wharf in front of St. Dunstan's Basilica - home of the famous Cow's Ice Cream ranked the #1 ice cream in the world!
7. Learn about the tallest structure in Charlottetown - The St. Dunstan's Basilica, which is one of 27 designated Basilica's in Canada and a National Historic Site.
8. See a piece of PEI history with the Beaconsfield Historic House - one of seven Museum and Heritage PEI sites built in 1877 for wealthy shipbuilder and merchant James Peake. Beaconsfield stands as an enduring symbol of Victorian elegance.
