An East View of the Great Cataract of Niagara is a historic watercolour of Niagara Falls painted on site by Thomas Davies in 1762. It was the first accurate view of the falls. Thomas Davies was a British Army officer in the Royal Artillery and received training in topographic drawing at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. During the French and Indian War, he served under General Jeffery Amherst. After the attack against Montreal, he surveyed the surrounding region from 1760 to 1766 and painted six waterfalls, including this one of Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls was first described in the journals of Samuel de Champlain in 1604; the first published eyewitness description was by Louis Hennepin in Description of Louisiana. His work, A New Discovery of a Vast Country, included the first image of the falls based on his description and not done on site. Davies painted two additional views of the falls c. 1766. His work was not well known until after a 1953 auction from the Earl of Derby's library; these paintings were shown as part of a major exhibition devoted to Davies, 2 July – 4 September 1972, at the National Gallery of Canada.

On 1 April 2015, it was sold for £146,500 at Christie's in London from the Winkworth Collection. A print of the engraving of this painting by Fougeron was sold for £3,750. On 19 August 2015, a temporary export bar was placed on the painting in an effort to keep it in the United Kingdom; the view is of Horseshoe Falls from the Canadian bank. The painting shows a rainbow emerging from the mist; the landscape has orange colours as the forest leaves change from green in the fall. Davies inscribed scientific notes about the falls and the landscape at the bottom of the work: J. Fougeron produced a handcoloured engraving of this work, published in Davies's Six Views of North American Waterfalls. Davies painted Niagara Falls from Above and Niagara Falls from Below showing the falls from different perspectives; these two are now in the collection of the New-York Historical Society.

Cap-Chat is a town in the Canadian province of Québec, in the Regional County Municipality of Haute-Gaspésie, in the administrative region of Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Cap-Chat is found 16 kilometres west of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts; as of 2006, Cap-Chat's population is 2,777. In addition to Cap-Chat itself, the town's territory includes the communities of Cap-Chat-Est and Petit-Fonds. There are two theories about the origin of the town's name. One holds that the headland called Cap-Chat bore a likeness to a cat; the other theory is a bit more fanciful. According to a local legend, a cat walking along the shore killed and ate various animals, whereupon the "cat fairy" accused him of having eaten her offspring. For his punishment, the cat was turned into stone for ever, it seems most however, that the town's name is a corruption of "Aymar de Chaste", New France's lieutenant-general in 1603. The waterfront boardwalk at Cap-Chat has a display of photographs and informative plaques regarding the Second World War Battle of the St. Lawrence between U-Boats and coastal defence ships.

Cap-Chat was one of the prime viewing areas for the total solar eclipse of July 10, 1972. Cloudy skies prevented most observers from viewing the total phase of the eclipse. On March 15, 2000, the Municipality of Capucins was amalgamated into the Town of Cap-Chat. Cap-Chat has become synonymous with wind energy. There is a wind farm there containing 76 wind generators in revenue service; each one of these is a horizontal axis wind turbine, but there is to be seen there one called Éole, the world's tallest vertical axis wind turbine at 110 m. It is capable of producing 4 MW of power, but has not been in use for more than ten years following damages sustained during a wind storm. Everything that there is to know about wind power at Cap-Chat may be learnt at the interpretative centre at the wind farm. Cap-Chat has other things that are worth seeing, such as the aforesaid cat-shaped headland, a lighthouse; those interested in wilderness and spectacular scenery can explore the areas inland from Cap-Chat, where there was once a village called Saint-Octave-de-l'Avenir.

Salmon fishing and moose hunting are other activities available in the Cap-Chat area, as are hiking, horseback riding, off-road four-wheel drive excursions in the back country. In winter, Cap-Chat has a downhill skiing centre, as well as trails for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
