LA MAISON DES GOUVERNEURS

L'invasion américaine de 1775 avait de nouveau démontré l'importance stratégique de Sorel. Le général Haldimand acquit la seigneurie au nom de la Couronne en 1781 et y fit ériger cette résidence à l'intention du commandant en chef en temps de guerre. D'abord accupée par le général de Riedesel, cette demeure fut ensuite habitée, surtout comme maison d'été, par les gouverneurs Dorchester, Prescott, Dalhousie et Aylmer, et par les commandants en chef St. Leger, Brock, Colborne, Jackson, D'Urban et Eyre. Le prince William Henry, plus tard Guillaume IV, y fut reçu en 1787.

[English plaque/plaque en anglais]
THE GOVERNOR'S COTTAGE

The American invasion of 1775 showed anew the strategic importance of Sorel. Governor Haldimand acquired the seigneury for the Crown in 1781 and built this house so that the commander-in-chief might reside in it in time of war. First occupied by General de Riedesel, it was then used as a summer residence by Governors Dorchester, Prescott, Dalhousie and Aylmer, and by commanders-in-chief St. Leger, Brock, Colborne, Jackson, D'Urban and Eyre. Prince William Henry, later William IV, was here welcomed to Sorel in 1787.

LE FORT RICHELIEU
FORT RICHELIEU

Le fort Richelieu, un des plus anciens de la Nouvelle-France, fut considéré comme un symbole de force militaire et un point de rayonnement missionnaire depuis sa construction en 1642 jusqu'à son abandon en 1646. C'est Montmagny, gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France, qui l'établie dans sa stratégie contre les Iroquois avec lesquels la colonie était de nouveau en guerre. Comme ceux-ci menaçait l'existence même du Canada, le fort devait bloquer leur avance par la rivière Richelieu. En 1665, un deuxième fort, du nom de Sorel, fut construit sur le site du fort Richelieu.

As one of the earliest forts in New France, Fort Richelieu served as a symbol of military strength and as a base for missionaries from its construction in 1642 until its abandonment four years later. It was established near here by the Governor of New France, Montmagny, as a strategic position against the Iroquois with whom war had been renewed the year before. Iroquois raiding parties used the Richelieu River as a route to put Canada under severe military pressure and the fort was intended to block this approach. A second fort was built on the site in 1665 and later named Fort Sorel.

LE FORT CREVIER
FORT CREVIER

Un fort fut construit près d'ici en 1687, pour protéger les Français contre les attaques iroquoises que les Anglais encourageaient. Bâti par Jean Crevier sur sa seigneurie de Saint-François-du-Lac, ce fort de bois, appelé à l'origine fort Saint-François, fut plus tard connu sous le nom de Fort Crevier. Des escarmouches eurent souvent lieu à cet endroit entre Français et Iroquois de 1689 à 1693. Après la signature des traités de paix avec les Anglais en 1697 et les Iroquois en 1700 et 1701, le fort ne fut plus utilisé.

A fort was built near here in 1687 for the defence of the French inhabitants of the area against Iroquois attacks which had been encouraged by the English. Originally named Fort Saint-François, it came to be known by the name of its builder, Jean Crevier in whose seigneurie, Saint-François-du-Lac, this wooden fort stood. Skirmishes between the Iroquois and French were fought near here on many occasions between 1689 and 1693. With the signing of peace treaties with the English in 1697, and with the Iroquois in 1700 and 1701, the French allowed the fort to fall into ruins.

Starting its active service in November 2012, the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Caporal Kaeble V.C. is a mid-shore patrol vessel. It is one of nine Hero-class patrol vessels ordered by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans/Canadian Coast Guard, in September 2009. Each of the nine Hero-class patrol vessels will be named for personnel from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP Officers), Canadian Coast Guard (sailors, aircrew), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (fisheries officers) and Canadian Forces (soldiers, sailors, and aircrew) who are credited with performing exceptional or heroic acts during their service.

Joseph Thomas Kaeble was born in St-Moïse, Quebec on 5 May 1892. Before he enlisted in the 22nd Infantry Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, he earned his living as a mechanic.

Corporal Kaeble was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for demonstrating singular bravery on 8 and 9 June 1918. He was in charge of a machine gun section in the Canadian line near Neuville-Vitasse, near Arras in France, when an intense bombardment fell on the trenches heralding a strong enemy raid. By the time the shells stopped falling, all of his section but one were casualties. Seeing some fifty Germans advancing toward his position, Kaeble jumped over the parapet of his trench firing a Lewis machine gun at the approaching enemy. Although repeatedly struck, Corporal Kaeble continued to empty one magazine after another into the attackers until he fell back into the trench mortally wounded, dying shortly afterward. The repulse of the enemy raid at this point was due to his courage.

A plaque near the Porte St Louis of the fortified part of Québec City was dedicated in 1992 by the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering as a tribute to Gaspard Chaussegros de Léry, the third “King’s Engineer” in New France 1716 - 1756. Highlights of his career include planning the outer stone wall of Montreal’s fortifications as well as planning Fort Niagara and Fort Saint-Frédéric. In addition, he supervised work on Québec’s fortifications, designed two naval shipyards in Québec City, several churches, the Episcopal Palace and the façade of the Québec Cathedral.
