Island Holy-Cross
The island Holy-Cross , or the island of Dochet as it is called today, is an international historic site of the the United States. It is located close to the mouth of the Rivière Holy-Cross, which forms part of the international border separating the American state from the Maine of the Canadian province of the New Brunswick.
The aristocrat French Pierre Dugua sior of Mons established a colony on the island Holy-Cross in June 1604 under the authority of king de France. This station was the first French attempt at permanent colonization in the territory which they called the Acadie.
Samuel de Champlain belonged to the forwarding of Mons on the small island. Next spring, after one hard winter and the death of more than half of the crew due to the Scurvy, the establishment was transferred on a new site on dry land called Port-Royal.
In 1608, Samuel de Champlain as of many colonists transferred their establishment in the way the St. Lawrence which will become later the town of Quebec.
The year 2004 is that of the fourth centenary of the establishment of the French in North America.
