    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    This creation of the Naufrageur brewery in Quebec is an Annedd'ale, a new style of beer of Quebec tradition. It contains balsam fir, Annedda in Iroquois, "the tree of life" which saved Jacques Cartier's sailors from scurvy in 1536. Brewed with a yeast from the vaults of the Islet of the Palaces of Quebec, where Jean Talon created The first brewery in Quebec, it bears the name of the boat which, at the request of the intendant, brought 82 'daughters of the king' to Quebec in 1665.

    The King's Daughters (French: filles du roi; filles du roy) is a term used to refer to the approximately 800 young French women who immigrated to New France between 1663 and 1673 as part of a program sponsored by Louis XIV. The program was designed to boost Canada's population both by encouraging male immigrants to settle there, and by promoting marriage, family formation and the birth of children. While women and girls certainly immigrated to New France both before and after this time period, they were not considered to be filles du roi, as the term refers to women and girls who were actively recruited by the government and whose travel to the colony was paid for by the king. They were also occasionally known as the King's Wards, where "wards" meant those under the guardianship of another. [From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Daughters ]

    Now that is an interesting bit of trivia Dave.
    It just goes to prove that however much you think you know your history, there is always something else to learn.

    Or should that be fillets? Something distinctly fishy about this.

    From the same brewery La Penelope ( Actually H.M.S. Penelope).

    The Penelope shipwreck: The frigate H.M.S. Penelope left the English port of Spithead in April 1815. She was loaded with soldiers and returned to Canada as a result of the war with Napoleon. On the morning of May 1, the frigate struck rocks on the Gaspé coast. Despite the efforts of the crew and the cannon shots fired to attract the attention of local residents, the frigate sank, carrying with it a large part of its men. Two hundred sailors and soldiers thus died. Subsequently, the nearby village was named : Pointe-à-la-Frégate. Nowadays, some people claim that at low tide, they can still see the Penelope's guns lying at the bottom of the water.

    Yet another bit of history immortalized by a brewery.
    Nice one Dave.

    THE GHOST OF THE LÉONNE

    Leon Roussy began a successful career as a buccaneer in the 1750s. Returning from the West Indies, he fled to New France with a brother-in-law's ship and his rich cargo of 290,000 pounds, in coin. He then prospered as a merchant on the St. Lawrence River before persuing the English ships, which had become too hostile in the region. Captured by one of them, he succeeded in seizing the boat and fled to the Baie des Chaleurs. From then on, he was seen to sail only by night or on very misty days. He continued to engage in piracy on his elusive boat, the Léonne, which quickly became an object of legend in the region.

    La Courlieu is named in honor of one of the boats with which Jacques Cartier explored New France. Baie des Chaleurs is the first place where Cartier made contact with Amerindian peoples, in this case the Micmac nation. A few days after this meeting, Cartier landed in Gaspé and took possession of the territory in the name of the King of France.

    If the Micmac people were treated badly, they were quite capable of defending themselves.

    THE CORTE-REAL BROTHERS

    In 1501, the Portuguese explorer Gaspar Corte-Real sailed across the Baie-des-Chaleurs and met the Micmacs. As he had done a year earlier with the Beothuk of Newfoundland, he tried to capture some of them and take them back as slaves to the court of Portugal. This enterprise went wrong and Gaspar took refuge on the island of Herons, where the Micmacs killed his crew and left them attached to a stone that the tide slowly submerged. The following year, his brother Miguel went looking for him. This time, the Micmacs recognized the Portuguese boat and colours, and attacked the ship of the second Corte-Real. Fierce fighting raged on the boat, which caught fire. Everyone perished and the boat drifted in the bay in the grip of the flames that made his legend.

    Well you really could not send out a better signal to say Don't mess with us!
    Guess that is why the French and not the Portuguese colonized Canada.
