le Pélican |
This site is a resource centre for teachers who wish to embark
upon an adventure with their students in the educational
possibilities
of a late seventeenth-century French naval vessel and early Canadian
history.
Le Pélican may be viewed as a
micocosm of French society and culture. As a "spaceship" of its day,
it may also be thought of as a window on the people and culture of
France and New France of which it was a part.
Le Pélican was at the
center
of the greatest
arctic
sea battle in North American history. Her victorious Captain,
Canadian-born, Pierre LeMoyne was a skilled soldier-seaman, a hero of
New France and the scourge of the English.
