Again, like everything else in Brigus, the tunnel comes with an impressive history. This tunnel was created for Captain Bartlett so he could continue with his fishing and offloading. Tunnel construction began in 1860 and was actively used until 1910; now, it is a piece of history for anyone who wants to visit!
