  The goélette St-André was built in 1956 in La Malbaie by the master carpenter Philippe Lavoie of Petite-Rivière-St-François on behalf of the Captain Fernand Gagnon of La Malbaie. On June 20, 1978 its category of classification was changed from cargo liner to pleasure boat. On December 8, 1980 it was declared "héritage patrimonial" under the protection of the "Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec". It was acquired on June 22, 1982 by the captain Ronald Carré of Ste-Foy which exploited it in the transport of passengers in the wearing of Quebec. The group of volunteers "Les Caboteurs du St-Laurent Inc." acquired it on October 28, 1983 and Captain Carré took management of it. He sold it on January 18, 1988 to "Croisières sur le fleuve" but remained the manager. On June 6, 1994 its category of classification was again modified to cruising ship. It was acquired on May 25, 1995 by "St-André Croisière-Restauration Inc." of Ste-Foy and it remained under the protection of the "Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec". It was acquired on December 29, 1997 by "Exposition Maritime de St-Joseph-de-la-Rive Inc". It is exposed at the "Musée maritime de St-Joseph-de-la-Rive". Its registration file at Transport Canada is still open and it is in a state of navigability.
