Baie-Trinité (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Village Municipality) is part of the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, in Côte-Nord region, Quebec province, Canada.
In addition to Baie-Trinité itself, the village municipality also includes the hamlet of Pointe-des-Monts, site of Pointe-des-Monts Lighthouse.[1][2]
Pointe-des-Monts Lighthouse
The Pointe-des-Monts Lighthouse,[3] a National historic site of Canada, was built in 1829–1830 on a point that ancient geographers, since Samuel de Champlain (1567-1655) himself, classified as the demarcation point between the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.[4]
In 2023, all the facilities of the Pointe-des-Monts lighthouse include the lighthouse, the keeper's house and the footbridge. Over time, since its installation in 1830, several buildings have been demolished, as example, given the impressive number of shipwrecks at this time, a provision depot for shipwreck victims was built in 1831.[5][6]
