Photo: Mighty Ships visits Kuujjuaq

The NEAS vessel MV Avataq was featured on Discovery Channel’s reality show Mighty Ships Nov. 29. The show looked at how the NEAS crew prepares for the sealift season, a vital delivery service for Nunavik and Nunavut communities. Mighty Ships followed the Avataq on its journey from the port of Valleyfield, Quebec up the St. Lawence River, along the Labrador coast and into Ungava Bay, where the vessel navigated the narrow Koksoak before arriving in Kuujjuaq to deliver its goods.
