Hike the Trail of Valourin beautiful St. Lawrence, NLStep back in History with Laurentian Legacy Tours
Join us for a guided hike through spectacular seascapes, world-class geology, and stories of significant history. The well-groomed trail weaves its way through boreal forest, barrens, bogs and along the seashore of Chambers Cove - site of the shipwreck of the USS Truxton. The bitter realities of World War II came to these rugged shores on February 18, 1942, when the Truxton/Pollux/Wilkes Convoy crashed and 203 American sailors tragically lost their lives and 186 were saved. Hear the stories of those who survived, locals who helped with the rescue and how a small community forever changed that day.
