It analyses four major aspects of these early trans-Atlantic crossings and examines maritime communications in the age of sail. The volume of traffic and the types of vessels are evidence of the roles of the French state and the private shipowners in defending New France and furnishing it with supplies. At the mercy of fickle winds, these ships followed a course where uncertainty prevailed, both in the duration of the crossings and in the risk of accidents. This challenge demanded a sus- tained effort from both the crews manning the vessels - to carry out their back-breaking work - and the crowded passengers in their care to co-exist despite the diversity of social backgrounds. The physical and psychological living conditions aboard ship afforded few luxuries to either the crews or the passengers in an environment of restrictions. All the traces of these sailors' lives seem to have vanished as quickly as the wakes of the ships that bore them across the seas, and the history of trans-Atlantic communications is no doubt the poorer for this loss. Fortunately, the captains and the passengers had the time to record their impressions of the voyages, and from their diaries and letters I have drawn this portrait of life aboard ship.

In chronicling the history of New France, many historians have examined the political, economic, social, and cultural relationships that existed between the colony and the mother country. There has been little study, however, of the maritime setting of this relationship, that is, the world of sailing vessels and their crews and passengers. In recent years, historians have turned their at- tention to the study of material civilization. This trend, and the resulting speculations about daily life in past societies, have raised questions re- garding the nature of maritime communications between France and New France. We can learn much about these two societies from their actions - the many decisions, preparations, and endeavours, and the determi- nation required to succeed in crossing the Atlantic. The growth of New France owes much of its dynamism to the ways in which the French planned and carried out the challenge of crossing the ocean. Between France and New France is a study of trans-Atlantic com- munications during the period of France's colonization of America, par- ticularly the eighteenth century. It reconstructs the lives of the men who set out to conquer the Atlantic to earn their daily bread, or who were compelled to cross it to reach the colonies. Few historians of New France have neglected to mention the enormity of the problems a sea voyage could pose during the sailing era. It cannot be denied that the Atlantic Ocean curbed the development of New France; yet, it also represented a link between the mother country and a young colony clamouring for settlers.

    Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and LaHave River areas of Nova Scotia David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney and Alain Belliveau Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre November 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, through their Species at Risk Conservation Fund. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity provided by the fund to have visited these botanically significant areas. We also thank Sean Basquill for mapping, fieldwork and good company on our Polletts Cove trip, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park for assistance with vehicle transportation at the start of that trip. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS All photographs included in this report were taken by the authors. 1 INTRODUCTION This project, funded by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund, focused on two areas of high potential for rare plant occurrence: 1) the Polletts Cove and Blair River system in northern Cape Breton, covered over eight AC CDC botanist field days; and 2) the lower, non-tidal 29 km and selected tidal portions of the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, covered over 12 AC CDC botanist field days. The Cape Breton Highlands support a diverse array of provincially rare plants, many with Arctic or western affinity, on cliffs, river shores, and mature deciduous forests in the deep ravines (especially those with more calcareous bedrock and/or soil) and on the peatlands and barrens of the highland plateau. Recent AC CDC fieldwork on Lockhart Brook, Big Southwest Brook and the North Aspy River sites similar to the Polletts Cove and Blair River valley was very successful, documenting 477 records of 52 provincially rare plant species in only five days of fieldwork.

  • Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada Bill_Davey@cbu.ca ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names.

HEBDA2 1Research Associate, Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, and Curator, Wildlife Museum, Biology Department, Acadia University, Wolfville NS B0P 1X0 2Curator of Zoology, Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer Street, Halifax, NS B3H 3A6 The latest taxonomic, distributional, habitat and conservation status information is presented for a total of 91 species of marine and terrestrial mammals presently or historically known from Nova Scotia. Four of them are extirpated and one is extinct. Of the 86 remaining species 51 are terrestrial (46 native, 5 introduced). The terrestrial mammals include 9 species of Insectivora, 6 (+ one tentative) of Chiroptera, one Primate, 12 Carnivora, 1 Perrissodactyla, 3 Artiodactyla, 19 Rodentia and 1 Lagomorpha. Native species include Boreal, Transition Zone and Austral elements, the result of Nova Scotia’s mid-latitude position on the continental coast. The 32 recorded marine species include 6 Carnivora (5 seals, walrus) and 26 Cetacea: Delphinidae (10 species), Phocoenidae (1), Monodontidae (1), Kogiidae (2), Physeteridae (1), Ziphiidae (4), Eschrichtiidae (1, extirpated), Balaenopteridae (5) and Balaenidae (1). Since 1971 four small mammal species (Sorex gaspensis, S. dispar, Glaucomys volans and Microtus chrotorrhinus) have been added to the provincial fauna, as a result of the first systematic and intensive sampling ever done in Nova Scotia. All are disjunct and three of them are restricted to forested talus habitats in the Cobequid Mts. or the Cape Breton Highlands. With the two disjunct species already known (Sorex arcticus maritimensis and Peromyscus leucopus caudatus), there are 6 disjunct mammals in the province, comprising 14.3 % of native non-volant terrestrial mammals, 33 % of insectivores and 18.8 % of native rodents.

Observations are organized into seven chapters. The first looks at the kinship ties of Canadian Francophones, including common ancestral origins, settlement of the Francophone regions, and existence of two particularly large French Canadian families, one in Acadia and one in Quebec. The second chapter outlines patterns of mobility in migration, tourism, and educational exchange. Chapter three looks at the circulation of information within and among Francophone communities through the mass media, both print and telecommunications. The status of cultural exchange (literary, musical, and theatrical) is considered next.

The thesis reveals how the cabarets and auberges developed, independently of the government authorities' wishes. Although regarded as a menace to good order and the work ethic, these drinking places were reluctantly tolerated. Taverns provided a unique public and secular meeting place for fishermen, soldiers and workers.

It was recovered from the Scottish occupation level (1629-1632) at Fort Anne National Historic Site during excavations for Parks Canada by Birgitta Wallace. On one side is the coat of arms for the port of Bristol. The other side bears a thistle, though not, apparently, from any Scottish connection. The archaeological context and the imagery are evocative of Nova Scotia's early history - it's maritime connections and its Scottish heritage from which we get both the name and flag of the province (drawings by Rion Microys for Parks Canada).
