Grosse Île and the Irish Memorial
—Lieu historique national du Canada / National Historic Site of Canada —
Dominant l'archipel de I'Isle-aux-Grues, Grosse-Île sert de station de quarantaine pour le port de Québec, principale porte d'entrée des immigrants au Canada jusqu'à la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle a été témoin de drames humains et de scènes exceptionnelles de dévouement. Plus de 7000 personnes y sont décédées, la plupart lors de l'épidémie de typhus de 1847.HM Number | HM2BIE |
