This series explores the first man-made underwater statue park in Canada. Located in the St. Lawrence River in Brockville, Ontario, the site acts as an entry point to the region’s many shipwrecks and pays tribute to those who have lost their lives to the river. The introductory image of 'The Memorial Ring' statue sits at the centre of the marine park, where it pays respect to tragedy and reminds us of the importance this great river has played in shaping our shared history as Canadians.
