This building represents the old sawmill of Joseph Shaw. In 1926, it was bought by the Compagnie aérienne franco-canadienne (CAFC) and then transformed into a seaplane base to house Jacques de Lesseps’s seaplanes.

This interpretation building presents the aviation and transportation history in Gaspé. Moreover, a great time line shows the evolution of transportation in Gaspé since the arrival of Jacques Cartier.

It is also a place to enjoy the photographs taken from above by Jacques de Lesseps and the CAFC in 1926 and 1927 and a scale model of the seaplane used to perform these flights.
