62. NSBA - History Of Boatbuilding In Nova Scotia
    For a good history by David Walker of nova scotia motorized inshore fishingboats, visit http//www.civilization.ca/hist/lifelines/linsc01e.html.  
    http://www.nsboats.com/history.asp
    
    Extractions: Boatbuilding in Nova Scotia began with the first European settlers and reached its zenith in the late 19 th century, when the province launched vast fleets of wooden-hulled vessels, including the W.D. Lawrence , the largest wooden ship ever built in Canada. The last great shipbuilding boom came during the First World War, when the demand for shipping led to the construction of hundreds of sailing ships, including the elegant "Tern" (three masted) schooners and the famous Grand Banks schooners. Wood remained the principal building material until the 1970s. Thousands of the ubiquitous "Cape Island" style fishing boats were built throughout the province. The original "Cape Islander" was a small inshore boat, powered by a "make and break" one-cylinder gas engine. Later, they evolved into large and powerful vessels, used in a wide variety of fisheries. Although now mostly built of fibreglass, the "Cape Islander" remains the most common type of inshore fishing boat in Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the building of yachts goes back farther than many people might imagine. The Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS), located in Halifax and founded in 1837, lays claim to being the oldest yacht club in North America. As early as the 1840s yachts were being built and Ebenezer Moseley of Dartmouth, NS designed and built some notable vessels. In her history of the RNSYS, Nancie Erhard reports that, unusually for his time, Moseley worked from drawings rather than carved half models. He also used a water trough to test the performance of some of his designs before building. Does this make him a pioneer of tank testing?

    Extractions: The Fundy shore of Nova Scotia boasts extraordinary fossils, from the earliest reptiles to early dinosaurs. The Joggins Fossil Cliffs have been well known for more than 150 years, with contributions to major discoveries in all aspects of paleontology, including the first reptiles. Wasson's Bluff, near Parrsboro, has fossils of Canada's oldest dinosaurs. Together, they constitute two of the most interesting time periods, the Carboniferous and the Jurassic.

    Extractions: Home Partners Nova Scotia What's biodiversity ... European impact The original inhabitants of Nova Scotia were the people of the Mi'kmaq nation. Their name means 'my kin-friends' or 'my brothers'. Their language, still spoken by some people today, is vividly descriptive. For example, the month of May was Tqoljewiku's , frog-croaking month. February was Apiknajit , snow-blinder. The Mi'kmaq lived in wikuom , wigwams, cone-shaped tents covered in birchbark. These housed 12 to 15 people and were decorated with paintings of animals and birds. Clothing was made from tanned animal skins, sewn together with animal sinews. Like wigwams, these were decorated with geometric patterns and designs of animals and humans. Clothing might also have ornaments of animal teeth, claws, bones, quills or feathers attached. Both males and females wore robes, leggings and moccasins. Tools were made from animal bones, ivory, teeth and claws and from stone found in the area. Axes, spears, knives and arrow tips, for example, were made of stone. Sewing needles were made of bone. top of page ^ Acknowledgments Site map Eco-Online home

They also hunted moose, beaver and porcupine, and gathered birds' eggs and edible plants. Meat and fish were dried, smoked and stored for food in the harsh winter months. In their leisure time, the Mi'kmaq enjoyed telling stories, singing and dancing. They smoked a tobacco made from native plants, played waltes (similar to dice) and ball games and had contests of running, wrestling and shooting. top of page ^ In 1996 the indigenous population of Nova Scotia numbered around 12 500, with most of these belonging to the Mi'kmaq nation. Today, the Mi'kmaq people live in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, parts of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Quebec in Canada. They also live in Maine and Massachusetts in the USA. There is a growing interest in their traditional music, ceremonies and language. top of page ^ Acknowledgments Site map Eco-Online home

The next few paragraphs will help make you feel at home within the context of our history. Read on! Although the Indians were, without a doubt, the first people to visit this corner of l'Acadie while fishing and hunting, nothing indicates that they remained here for any length of time. To learn more about the Deportation of the Acadians, visit the web site by Marie-Claire Pitre. (in French) Already in the 1750's, during the summer months, the Jerseys ran a fishing station at "La Pointe de l'Île". In 1782, two families settled permanently in Chéticamp. Others followed and history tells us that 1785 marks the foundation of Chéticamp. "La Grant à Pierre Bois", a charter by which the Crown granted 7000 acres of land, was signed in 1790 by 14 of these brave settlers. In 1955, a monument was erected in the Platin, in memory of our ancestors, better known as, "Les Quatorze Vieux" (14 old men). This monument is a reminder of the courage of our ancestors, the "Quatorze Vieux". Home Location History Tourist Information ...

John Cabot may have landed (1497) on the tip of Cape Breton Island; European fishermen were already making regular stops during their yearly expeditions. An unsuccessful French settlement was made in 1605 at Port-Royal (now Annapolis Royal); in 1610 the French succeeded at the same site. For the next century and a half France and England bitterly contested rights to Acadia , which included present-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. In 1621, Sir William Alexander obtained a patent from James I for the colonization of Acadia. Control alternated between France and England through several wars and treaties. Evangeline.

    Extractions: Acadia University's Planter Studies Centre is a research institute which focuses scholarly attention on the 8000 New England residents who migrated to Nova Scotia between 1759 and 1774. Known as "Planters" (the old English term for colonists), they settled in townships throughout the frontier colony of Nova Scotia (which included the modern Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). They were among the first anglophone immigrants to the mainland area of present-day Canada. The Planter Studies Centre is a valuable facility that assists researchers in a variety of fields connected with Planter Studies. The Planters have often been overlooked by history, and this makes Planter research all the more intriguing. Professional and amateur scholars alike explore such diverse fields as Planter genealogy, music, literacy, gravestones, material culture (which includes architecture and artifacts ), as well as economic history, religious history, family history, and political history.

    Extractions: Third Edition, 1993 by G. C. Adams, Introduction Uses of Gypsum and Anhydrite Nova Scotia's Resources History of Gypsum and Anhydrite Mining in Nova Scotia ... Natural Resources Home Page The word gypsum is derived from the Greek gypsos, meaning chalk. Anhydrite is merely gypsum without water. These minerals are formed through the evaporation of salt waters are frequently found interbedded with limestone, dolomite and shale. Deposits of gypsum and anhydrite are found worldwide on all continents with the possible exception of Antarctica. Back to Contents Approximately 75 per cent of the gypsum used in North America is calcined, meaning that three-quarters of the water has been removed by heating to form stucco or plaster of Paris. Calcined gypsum is one of the most common building materials in the world. It is used for interior wall partitions and ceilings, either as plaster or in prefabricated products. Regular wallboard and type-x wallboard with its fire-resistant characteristics make up over three-quarters of the market for calcined gypsum. Minor uses for calcined gypsum include dental plaster, modelling casts, moulds, surgical casts and drilling muds. Uncalcined gypsum and anhydrite are used in much the same way. After crushing and grinding, their principal use is as a set retarder for cement. When a small amount of gypsum or anhydrite is added to Portland cement, the set of the cement is slowed, but the tensile strength is not lessened. Another important use is in the agriculture industry where gypsum and anhydrite have a beneficial effect on many crops. They can decrease the salinity of salty soils, improve the permeability of clayey soils and provide sulphur, calcium and catalytic support in order to decrease fertilizer use and maximize crop production.

    Extractions: There were three major Indian tribes in the area when the French arrived, 4,000 Micmacs, mostly in Nova Scotia, 5,000 Maliseet in New Brunswick, and 10,000 Abenakis in Maine. De Monts returned to France in the fall, and during that winter, 12 more men died of scurvy. On July 27, 1606, Poutrincourt arrived back with more men and livestock. De Monts formed La Compagnie de l'Acadie , and granted Poutrincourt, by royal ordinance, the fief of Port-Royal. The third winter, 1606-7, only seven men died of scurvy. The settlers had grown enough vegetables during the summer to keep some in storage for the winter. However, other merchants in France managed to get De Monts' commerce rights in Acadia annulled. De Monts and Champlain returned to France. With no support from France, the settlers were unable to stay at their settlement. Poutrincourt sailed with all his remaining men back to France to find new backing. In the meantime, the fort was left empty for two years. During this entire time, the Micmac chief Membertou scrupulously protected the possessions of the French, and when they returned, they found everything exactly as they had left it. Young Charles managed to win the support of the Marquess de Guercheville, who was already a patron of Father Briard, one of the Jesuits. She paid off the protestants and turned over her interest to the priests. Charles, his mother, the priests and the food supplies left France on January 26, 1611, and they arrived in Acadia after an arduous 4-month voyage.

Cajun History There may have been a few Acadians hiding out in Nova Scotia through the Seven Years War. But generally, Acadians were rounded up and deported or escaped to French Canada. Some were kept “imprisoned” at Halifax. Once the war was over, these Halifax Acadians settled nearby at Chezzetcook and Prospect. Soon after the Treaty was made, some of the exiled Acadians made their way back to Nova Scotia. Upon their arrival, they found English settlers on the land they had developed for over a century. The governement did offer them some 40 acre lots in the northern and western areas of Nova Scotia. Over the next few years, Acadian settlements developed at the mouth of Baie St. Marie, on the southwestern shore around Church Point, at Tousquet and Pobomcoup, and along the Straight of Canso. In 1767, Acadians from St. Pierre and Miquelon arrived at Cape Breton Island and settled at Cheticamp and Margaree. In the 1780’s, more Acadians arrived from Prince Edward Island.
