Discovery Harbour
One of Ontario’s most scenic waterside historic sites, Discovery Harbour (1817-1856) tells the story of a 19th century naval and military outpost built to safeguard Upper Canada after the War of 1812. Board the reconstructed historic Tall Ships, H.M.S. Bee and H.S.M. Tecumseth, moored on our picturesque wharf. Visit the reconstructed dockyard, sailors’ barracks, workshops, and Captain’s residence and then check out the original Officers’ Quarters.
View the hull of the H.M.S. Tecumseth, pulled from the depths of Georgian Bay. Friendly and knowledgeable costumed guides bring fascinating stories to life. On site you’ll also find our Gift Shop and the King’s Wharf Theatre.
