INTRODUCTION After a long hiatus, historians recently have begun to re-examine the history of policy and development in Newfoundland.1 Given the importance of rail- ways to such policies in the nineteenth century, it is not surprising that much discussion has focused on attitudes towards this technology. Yet, despite its importance, the historiography of Newfoundland’s railway remains remark- ably thin; since the 1960s, only a handful of publications have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the railway’s history.

Introduction European settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador you will recall from your study of chapter three, to was originally driven by demand for saltfish that was compensate for declining harvests per person, fishers exported to southern Europe and the British West sought new fishing grounds, such as those in Labrador, Indies. By the mid-1800s, however, several problems and took advantage of new technologies, such as cod arose that limited the ability of the fishery to remain traps, which increased their ability to catch more fish the primary economic activity. Recognizing this, the in less time. Newfoundland government began to look for ways to diversify the economy. The second problem was the decrease in the cod biomass off Newfoundland and Labrador. One factor which contributed to this was a period of lower ocean Changes in the Fishery productivity – this means the rate of cod reproduction thus, many people lost an additional source of income.

CASTLES in the AIR the Life, Times and Influence of the Reverend
CASTLES IN THE AIR The Life, Times and Influence of the Reverend Moses Harvey (1820-1901) By James Edward Armour, B.A. (Hons.) A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2016 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT The period from 1874 to 1901 was a time of significant transition in the economic and political life of Newfoundland. Twenty years into responsible government and with Confederation on the backburner, the colony’s politicians turned their attention to economic diversification, landward development and carving out the island’s place in the British Empire. The period saw both economic prosperity and retrenchment; the construction of a trans-insular railway; the adoption of policies to foster agriculture, forestry, manufacturing and mining; and diplomatic efforts to resolve France’s outstanding claims on the northwest coast of the island. At the same time, the government made an attempt to intervene directly in its primary industry, the fisheries. It created a Fisheries Commission in 1889 that recommended conservation measures and artificial propagation as ways to restore the health of some of the island’s fish stocks. They also proposed new methods of curing, packaging and marketing Newfoundland’s cod, as well as a complete overhaul of the truck system. A major player in both the public and private debates surrounding all of these subjects was the Reverend Moses Harvey. Along with being minister of the Free Church of Scotland in St. John’s, Harvey was one of Newfoundland’s most active promoters in the late nineteenth century.
