During an evening excursion in the port of Québec on 24 August 1994, the passenger vessel "LOUIS JOLLIET", with a crew of 21 and 999 passengers on board, encountered the sailboat "MERLIN" which was returning, with an operator and one guest, to her marina at the entrance to the Chaudière River. At the Pointe à Puiseaux, the "LOUIS JOLLIET" altered course to head on the centre span of the Québec bridge. Ahead of the passenger vessel, the "MERLIN" was crossing the river from the south to the north shore. The sailboat maintained her port tack in the prevailing light wind condition because it was assumed that the passenger vessel would proceed toward the centre of the river and pass astern. The sun had set and the navigational lights of the "MERLIN" were not operational. The "LOUIS JOLLIET" did not observe the progress of the "MERLIN". As it was realized that a close-quarters situation was developing, the sailboat attempted to pass ahead of the passenger vessel by proceeding under both power and sail, but the operator was unable to start the outboard motor. To minimize the impact in a last-minute effort, the sailboat altered course to port. When the upper part of the sailboat's mast was observed bearing four points on the port bow of the passenger vessel, the helm of the "LOUIS JOLLIET" was turned hard over to port. However, the two vessels collided in estimated position Lat. 4645.37'N, Long. 7116.13'W, about 1.4 nautical miles south-west of the Pointe à Puiseaux. The starboard rigging on the "MERLIN" parted and the sailboat was dismasted. The port side of the "LOUIS JOLLIET" sustained negligible damage, and there were no injuries as a result of this accident.
