A road trip to Midland, Ontario is not complete without a visit Discovery Harbour. Discovery Harbour was the original British naval and military base in Penetanguishene, built to provide protection to Upper Canada after the War of 1812. The British naval presence on Georgian Bay was to provide ships to supply British posts westward. By the early 1800s, it was home to sailors, officers, shipwrights, and soldiers. Five large ships, 15 smaller vessels, and numerous workshops and dwellings were built.
