Going down to Campbell’s Yard, below the Plains of Abraham, 1828
In the 19th century, British shipyards were legion in the Québec City area. One of them belonged to John Saxton Campbell and George Black. Their operations were concentrated at Cape Cove, below the James Wolfe monument on the Plains of Abraham. The yard mainly repaired ships used in Britain’s international trade.
