> 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:
> http://www.gouv.qc.ca/mccq/document/epaphips/wreck01.htm
>
> 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.
