>     I am happy to announce the new web site: "Wreck of a Vessel of Phips'
>     fleet".  This page presents the underwater excavation of a vessel of
>     Sir William Phips' fleet which attempted to take Quebec City in 1690.
>     The wreck was found in Anse aux Bouleaux, Quebec.
>
>     The French version of the site has been available for a few months,
>     but it has now been translated.  It was produced by the Department of
>     Culture and Communication of the Province of Quebec, one of the
>     project's partners.

>     The address is:

>
>     The wreck was discovered in late December 1994, and a pre-disturbance
>     survey was conducted in 1995. In 1996, a six-week excavation project
>     took place, under the direction of Jim Ringer.
>
>     The archaeology of the Anse aux Bouleaux project was handled by Parks
>     Canada's Marine Archaeology Section.  Twenty-four NAS-trained sport
>     divers from the Groupe de Preservation des Vestiges subaquatiques de
>     Manicouagan (a dive group oriented towards the protection of submerged
>     heritage resources) also participated in the excavation with Parks'
>     archaeologists.  The Department of Culture and Communication of the
>     Province of Quebec, a major player in the project,  is taking care of
>     the conservation aspects, helped by Parks' lab in Ottawa.  Other
>     partners include the Regional Municipality of Manicouagan and the
>     Municipality of Baie-Trinite.
