Lincoln asks for help in saving ship’s masts

The Canadian Coast Guard has been asked to save the three masts of La Grande Hermine ship currently residing in Jordan Harbour after Lincoln council made the request Monday night.

Through an approved motion, council recognized the landmark as a tourist attraction in Lincoln and requested the CCG redirect the money currently slated for removing the masts towards making the masts and ship safe for future visitors to visually enjoy.

The Town will not be seeking to own the ship but does call on the federal government to support this tourism landmark.

“Lincoln is a vibrant community that is becoming a top tourist destination. La Grande Hermine draws many visitors who support our local tourism economy, spending additional time visiting our other attractions in Lincoln,” said Town of Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton.

“While we certainly share the Coast Guard’s safety concerns about the ship, we encourage them to redirect the funds currently slated for removing the masts into saving them for future visitors to visually

enjoy.” “The replica ship has been a tourism attraction since it arrived at Jordan Harbour on July 1, 1997 and has become a landmark for those travelling both north and south along the QEW,” said Paul Di Ianni, director of economic development and communications. “The Town sees tremendous benefit to preserving the ship which puts Jordan Harbour and Lincoln on the map.”
