There is a federal correctional facility nearby. DONT FLY YOUR DRONE, very very bad idea unless you call them to get clearance/permission. They have pretty high tech anti drone tech, you might loose it.
"In New Brunswick under the 'Heritage Conservation Act', fossils discovered must not be destroyed or removed from sites where they are found without a permit. It is every one's civic duty to report any finds to the New Brunswick Museum (https://www.nbm-mnb.ca/). This encourages the contribution these finds could make to science not just in the province, but on the global stage. You must also seek permission if you are to enter private land."
During the Carboniferous Period, there were plants. The plants are now fossilized (hence the fossils everywhere). 300 million years later (1960's) Premiere Louis J Robichaud had this built as part of the economic development program. -Sandy from Youtube Wikipedia: " Premier Louis Robichaud's government during the 1960s created an industrial park and deepwater loading pier at nearby Dorchester Cape as part of a regional economic development program. Envisioned to be used by the petro-chemical industry, the government constructed a new road and railway spur along with an electrical substation and the pier as well as a building that was envisioned to be used as a fertilizer plant. The industrial park had no tenants and the pier sitting in the Memramcook River was quickly silted in by mud from the tides of the Bay of Fundy. Today all that remains are the roads and the railbed as well as some broken street lights, a deteriorating sea wall and the empty shell of the abandoned fertilizer plant."
These are the ruins of what's left of a port. There are two large concrete pads. One was likely for loading on trucks and train (closer to the water), the other was for a warehouse (apperantly was still standing a decade ago). There is a large metal ruin, likely a barge or a second dock area. Finally there is the dock itself, large concrete area bordered by corrugated steel. There used to be a floating dock attached, but it was apperantly sold and taken elsewhere.
