Laurentian Legacy Tours
St. LawrenceHistory is alive in St. Lawrence: The 1929 tidal wave swept away their livelihood, so the men of St. Lawrence dug their way to a new future in mining. In 1942 a WW2 convoy of American war ships ran aground in gale-force winds, so local miners and their women launched a heroic rescue – a tale of such humanity that it redefined race relations in the American Navy. Historical adventures with guided walking tours to the epicentre of the tidal wave and to the rescue site at spectacular Chamber Cove.
