Québec City and Lévis from Anse-au-Foulon, Sillery
Goats at the top of a cliff in Anse-au-Foulon enjoy a view of the shipyards. The logs floating in the cove would have been felled in the nearby forests over the winter. On les alors dépose sur les rivières gelées. In spring, at thaw, the logs would float down the St. Lawrence. On les transporte par flottement jusqu'au chantier naval.
