Background Information

This gallery of photographs from around the old town of Morrisburg (with the exception of the aerial photos) were all taken by the Reverend George H. Smith in the 1950s in the period before it was flooded by the St. Lawrence Seaway construction completed in 1958. They are presented with the generous permission of his daughter, Claire Delage, the current owner of all copyrights.

We are currently putting together Titles and Descriptions for each of the pictures. We would appreciate any information and stories associated with the pictures that anyone can provide. Click here to send us your information (with the applicable Picture Id).

**** New 22 September, 2011 ****

We have added twelve new pictures to our history collection. They include the old Morrisburg Race Track, the Train Station, the High School (as it was fifty years ago), the Broder Island Ferry, the "Rapids Prince" Tour Boat and several pics from around the old Lock 23.
