Artifacts from the Battle of Restigouche

More than 200 years after the Battle of Restigouche, the wreck of the Machault, one of the French ships involved in the battle, was discovered at the bottom of the Restigouche. Between 1969 and 1972, the wreck was excavated, leading to the discovery of a large number of artifacts. These artifacts, which provide a deeper understanding of the battle, the material culture of the French colonies, and the trade of the time, are displayed in the visitor center of the Battle of Restigouche National Historic Site.
