Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book serves as a comprehensive catalogue of square-rigged sailing vessels, primarily those exceeding 500 tons, constructed in the eastern provinces of British North America between 1786 and 1920. It meticulously documents Canada's significant contributions to wooden shipbuilding during the age of sail, offering valuable insights for archivists, historians, and collectors of nautical memorabilia. Drawing upon extensive research in shipping registers, Lloyd's Register, and other authoritative sources, the author has compiled a detailed record of approximately 3,700 vessels. Each entry provides information on the vessel's name, rig, tonnage, dimensions, builder, port of registry, ownership, and ultimate fate. The book also highlights vessels involved in the Australian and New Zealand emigrant trade, as well as those owned by prominent Canadian shipping companies. Beyond its historical value, this book offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistry of bygone shipbuilders. It showcases the remarkable diversity of vessels that sailed the seas, from humble barques to majestic ships, each playing a vital role in shaping Canada's maritime heritage. The book's insights illuminate the Golden Age of Sail, a period of immense growth and innovation in shipbuilding, and underscore the enduring legacy of Canadian shipbuilders and seafarers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
