1877. - Etching of the cape at "La Vieille" (the Old Lady), at the tip of the Forillon peninsula.

""La Vieille", a rock of not much scope, was given this name because the eyes of the sailors saw the head of a woman covered with a large cap, as would wear our Canadian grandmothers." (Loose translation of Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Ferland, La Gaspésie, 1877)
