Attracted by the beauty of its situation, Henderson made frequent trips to Quebec City. This majestic view taken from the glacis - the sloping bank beneath the fortifications ? shows the river dotted with sailing ships. It is possible to identify Pointe De Lévy, Île d'Orléans and, in the distance, Mont Sainte-Anne.
