Our Lady of Lourdes Ship, Tuktoyaktuk, NT, Canada
View Original Description
Our Lady of Lourdes Ship is a wooden ship that was very important to the people of Tuktoyaktuk. In old days it was the only link to the rest of the world. Donated on behalf of Pope Pius XI in the 1930s, the schooner Our Lady of Lourdes sailed the Beaufort Sea for decades, delivering supplies to far-flung Catholic missions and carrying Inuvialuit children to Cathloic residential schools. Since 1982 the vessel has sat on display near Tuktoyaktuk's Catholic mission.
