over 5 years agoI didn’t realize Kingston had such a great marine museum. If you’re interested in the marina, or the history and construction of boating in Canada this is a good place to start. My favourite part is the self-guided tour of the Alexander Henry, a 3000-ton retired coast guard, navigation vessel and ice-breaker, now moored beside the museum. You can also book a night inside one of its rooms as a bed and breakfast. A unique stay for travellers or locals alike.
over 5 years agoIn 1832 the construction of a blockhouse was started, one of only four built along the Rideau. It was completed in about 1834. It was built to the same dimensions as those at Narrows and Newboro, 24 feet (7.3 m) on a side, designed to accommodate 20 men. It was built with a masonry base, about 3 feet (0.9 m) in thickness, with an upper storey, 28 feet (8.5 m) on a side, built of large squared timbers. Access was by a stairway to the second floor.
