Ottawa's Tall Ship




The black jack is now used as a learning tool for young sailors and cruises up and down the Ottawa River, It is a real site with all the sails - when it is windy enough for them to be hoisted. The Black Jack origins were as a tug, originally constructed in Scotland and sent to Quyon, Quebec for fittings. Launched in May 1904 and later converted to a tall ship in 1952. She has sailed the Ottawa River, the St. Lawrence Seaway and down to New York City for Tall Ship Rendezvoua
