http://www.aquatarium.ca At the Aquatarium in Brockville, you can sail back in time and take the wheel of the HMS Ontario, the pride of the 1000 Islands. Step into the reconstructed Captain’s Cabin to explore a time of battles, forts and shipbuilding. The 18th and 19th centuries in the 1000 Islands were an era in which bloody international battles were waged, warships and forts were constructed, and river pirates smuggled their wares up and down the St. Lawrence under cover of darkness.
The HMS Ontario was a British warship built in the 18th century and used during the American Revolutionary War. During a raging storm on Halloween night in 1780, the Ontario met its fateful demise in the deep, chilly waters of the lake with which it shared a name: Lake Ontario.
Or you can visit the beautifully reconstructed day cabin of a world-famous yacht, the Magedoma, where you and your fellow intrepid voyagers can sit back and relax as you take a virtual tour to Singer Castle 100 years in the past. Onboard you’ll feel just as if you’re one of George Fulford’s prominent guests taking luxurious day trips in Ontario on his private yacht as you make your way down the St. Lawrence River to Singer Castle on Dark Island.
If you are in search of entertaining and engaging activities for kids, or school trips in Ontario or New York, then you will want to explore the history, ecology and recreation of the St. Lawrence River Thousand Islands region. Located in Brockville, Ontario, at 6 Broad Street on the waterfront, the Aquatarium is the 1000 Islands RiverQuest™’ showcase for all ages. http://0s4.com/r/PHTQ9Xhttp://0s4.com/r/PHTQ9Xhttp://0s4.com/r/4YUJPT
