Title

Port Royal Habitation

Description

This wooden habitation was built in 1605 near present-day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, after the settlement at Sainte-Croix Island, New Brunswick, across the Bay of Fundy proved unsuitable. There was no fresh water source on the island. And after many died of scurvy over the winter at Ile Sainte-Croix it was decided to move the settlement to Port Royal.
