Don’t forget to visit historical FORT ST. MARIE II
Fort Sainte Marie II was designated as a national historic site of Canada in 1920 because: ‐ established in 1649, it was the last Jesuit mission for the Huron‐Wendat in this area; ‐ it was abandoned by the missionaries in 1650 when they fled to Quebec with some Huron‐Wendat supporters; ‐ the remaining Huron‐Wendat made their last stand against the Iroquois from this fort in 1651 before fleeing to Quebec.
Fort Sainte Marie II was constructed in 1649 following the destruction of the former Jesuit mission of Sainte‐Marie Among the Hurons Mission National Historic Sites of Canada on the Wye River. The new fort was settled from June 1649 to June 1650 by Jesuit Missionaries, French soldiers, and Huron‐Wendat who had fled from the Wye River mission station after confrontations with Five Nations bands and the Dutch who together sought to break the Huron‐Wendat control of north‐ern fur resources.
In their new location, the French built a small stronghold consisting of a military‐style four‐metre‐high stone outer wall, which was surrounded by a moat. These fortifications enclosed a church, missionary living quarters, and a well. The Huron‐Wendat lived in a village adjacent to the fort structure. The site was partially abandoned in June 1650 after a winter of famine, disease, and new threats of encroaching Iroquois. At that time, the Jesuits, led by Father Paul Ragueneau and approximately 300 Huron‐Wendat, travelled as a group from Christian Island into Lake Nipissing and the Ottawa River valley to Québec. They settled at what is now Old Wendake National Historic Site of Canada north of Québec City (Lorette, Quebec). The Huron‐Wendat that remained at the site lived in the fort and during the next spring, they made their last stand against the Iroquois in Huronia. The survivors of this group then relocated to Québec City to rejoin the Jesuits and other Huron‐Wendat.

The waters surrounding our Islands are abundant in diving sites. There are some that can be seen from the surface of the water, namely the MapleDawn, which is located on the north‐west side of Christian Island. There are many more dive sites, they are not all ships and boats, there are trucks ,etc, along with seaweed beds and underwater wildlife, clear visibility for a few feet below surface, snorkeling is possible. Unfortunately we do not have any dive charter boats located on Chris‐tian Island, but there are a lot of charters leaving from the Pentetanguishene/Midland area.
