The original La Grande Hermine (or Big Weasel) was sailed up the St. Lawrence River by Jacque Cartier in 1535. A replica of the vessel was made as a tour boat in the 1960's in Quebec City. The replica was sold to a young entrepreneur with dreams of making it just the thing to bring hungry visitors to his harbour side restaurant. The tour boat was sailed up the St. Lawrence from Quebec City in the late 1990s, then intentionally moored (anchored) and listed (leaning) to the harbour floor. The harbour side restaurant never did get built, as the entrepreneur went bankrupt shortly afterwards.

Arsonists finished off the floating restaurant in the early 2000's, leaving a slowly rusting hulk on the Lake Ontario shoreline.

one of the big green dump bin at the marina has most of the paint scratched off where the fork of the lift-truck scrapes the sides and now the rust is taking over. Makes great patterns and colour combination
