A Voyage of (Re) Discovery
The P.S. Lady Sherbrooke is an essential element in Canadian history. Just as you are navigating the sometimes murky waters of the information highway the Lady Sherbrooke was a vessel used to navigate the waters of a newly discovered land. It only requires a little imagination to see the similarities between the explorers of Canada in the nineteenth century and you, the explorers of the late twentieth century.The two basic purposes to this website are to describe the P.S. Lady Sherbrooke and then to outline the complexities involved in what was the largest, privately supported, underwater archeological dive in Canadian history. The arrangement of this website (see below) reflects these two objectives and is intended as a voyage of discovery in better appreciating the story of this essential part of Canadian history.
