Large antique mid 18th century French nautical chart of the entire Gulf of St. Lawrence. Published by the French Depot des Cartes, Plans et Journaux de la Marine in 1754, this variant example of the chart does not contain an attribution to J.N. Bellin, uncovering Pinquin ( Penguin ) Island in the space previously occupied by the cartouche.
<br></br>
Includes the Island of Newfoundland ( Isle de Terre-Neuve ) with the town of St. John ( St. Jean ), Anticosti Island, the Grand Banks, and Isle Royale. Very interesting is the addition of several very small manuscript? annotations to the chart very near to the Islands of Miquelon and St. Pierre- the only two French possessions in the area. The annotations include the addition of a name to a very small island "Isle Verte" (Green Island) and the overwriting / obscuring of the name for one of the headlands- "le Chapeau Rouge'.

Fascinating cyanotype, or blueprint, transcontinental elevation profile for the Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR) ca. 1915. Shows the elevation of the CPR line stretching Montreal (bottom right) to Vancouver, Canada (top left). At a horizontal scale of 1" = 30 miles and vertical scale of 1" = 1000 feet the chart clearly represents the vast distance across Canada as well as the challenges imposed by the Rocky Mountains and the Selkirk Mountain Range.
<br></br>
Date was obtained by analysis of the profile at Rogers Pass on the Selkirk Range where a tunnel is shown under construction. The tunnel at that point fits the Connaught Tunnel which was built to replace the route over Roger's Pass. The Connaught Tunnel is known to have been under construction from April 2, 1914 until December 16, 1916 when it began operational service. |

<br></br>
In June 1890, while outbound for the Orient from Burrard Inlet, BC the Canadian Pacific Railway steamer Parthia touched a shoal, incurring minor damage. The incident caused the Dominion government to recommend that the inlet be resurveyed and in April 1891 William J. Stewart arrived in Vancouver, British Columbia to lead the effort which lasted until September of that year. Traveling an estimated 75 miles of shoreline on foot and sounding over 450 miles by whaleboat, Stewart accomplished the survey of Burrard Inlet for less that $2,600.

'Sir George Henry Richards (1820 –1896) was hydrographer to the British Admiralty from 1864 to 1874.
After joining the Royal Navy in 1832, Richards was a hydrographer on the coast of British Columbia in 1857–1862 and was the second British commissioner to the San Juan Islands Boundary Commission. Richards is responsible for the selection and designation of dozens of placenames along the British Columbia coast.
<br/><br/>
Richards conducted surveys in the Pacific Northwest aboard the survey ships Plumper, and later the Hecate. As second commissioner for the maritime boundary, he was tasked with a detailed survey of the waters between Vancouver Island and the American mainland, to help determine the location of the international boundary through the San Juan Islands. The survey was completed in June 1858.' (Dictionary of Canadian Biography. http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=6394). |

It was originally incorporated in 1869 as the Sherbrooke, Eastern Townships and Kennebec Railway, and changed its name to the Quebec Central Railway in 1875.

You may know of Bert. A lot of people do. He’s the “Needle To An Anchor” man. His store on Lower Water Street in Halifax is a fabulous place... it’s a combination junk yard, ship chandler’s, department store, antique dealer’s, curio collector’s heaven and commission broker’s. Its customers include shipping men, souvenir hunters, antique collectors and a lot of other people in America and Europe and everybody in Halifax. And it’s likely to sell them anything from secondhand rolled oats, discarded gold mines, kidney pills or unmarketable fish, to shower curtains, ship’s lanterns, conveyer belts, Epsom salts and used bathtubs.

The author describes the extent of Micmac habitation:
<div class="indenttextblocksingle">
"The Micmacs occupied not only the whole of the Province of Nova Scotia including Cape Breton but also the northern and eastern provinces of New Brunswick and the nearby Prince Edward Island. They are a branch of the Algonquins, which includes all the tribes along the Atlantic Coast from Virginia to Labrador. The Micmac territory was divided into separate districts, each having its own chief. The Indian name for their territory was Megumaage, meaning Micmacland or "the home of the Micmacs."
