  • Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920S: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity
    Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920s: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity Richard MacKinnon and Lachlan MacKinnon Abstract Islands are places that foster a unique sense of place-attachment and com- munity identity among their populations. Scholarship focusing on the dis- tinctive values, attitudes and perspectives of ‘island people’ from around the world reveals the layers of meaning that are attached to island life. Lowenthal writes: ‘Islands are fantasized as antitheses of the all-engrossing gargantuan mainstream-small, quiet, untroubled, remote from the busy, crowded, turbu- lent everyday scene. In reality, most of them are nothing like that. …’1 Islands, for many people, are ‘imagined places’ in our increasingly globalised world; the perceptions of island culture and reality often differ. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in eastern North America, a locale with a rich history of class struggle surrounding its former coal and steel industries, provides an excellent case study for the ways that local history, collective memory and cultural expression might combine to combat the ‘untroubled fantasy’ that Lowenthal describes. History and methodology Coal mining has been an essential part of Cape Breton Island’s landscape since the early-eighteenth century. A steel mill was constructed in Sydney, the island’s largest city, in 1899; this steel plant provided employment for many of the island’s inhabitants throughout the twentieth century. Grid-patterned streets, dotted with company-owned homes, formed around the industrial workplaces in many Cape Breton communities. It was in these communities, from the people employed in the coal mines and steel mill, that distinctive traditions of work and leisure began to emerge.

  • 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 [email protected] 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. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

More than 70 marine, estuarine, and diadromous species are harvested commercially, caught by saltwater anglers, or reared by aquaculture. Maine ranked second in value of marine resources landed in commercial fisheries in 2005 in the Northeast Region (Maine-Virginia). Landings were stable in 2005 at about 263 million pounds with a value of $413 million (APPENDIX 1, Figures 1 & 2). Lobster continued to be the most valuable species landed in the region and the state with Maine accounting for 77% of the revenues ($312 million) from the 2005 lobster harvest (APPENDIX 1, Table 1).

  • Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926*
    Company Town/Labour Town: Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926* by David FRANK** In the early years of the twentieth century the northeast coast of Cape Breton Island was a booming industrial frontier. The coal and steel in­ dustries of this district played a large part in the Canadian economy, and in Cape Breton County they created the most dynamic industrial com­ munity in the Maritime Provinces. Although the roots of industry reached back to the 1820s, unprecedented growth took place from the 1890s to the 1910s. The population of the coal district more than tripled and by 1921 included more than 40,000 people. The newly-arrived Dominion Coal and Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Companies built steel plants, opened collieries, created new settlements and expanded old ones. 1 The influence of the coal companies on the life of the coal industry was pervasive. It was often echoed in local place-names. Communities such as Dominion and Dominion No. 6 were named for the collieries of the Dominion Coal Company. In New Waterford streets were named in honour of company directors J. H. Plummer, Sir Henry Pellatt and E. R. Wood. Most importantly, the coal companies enjoyed great economic power in the mining district. As the only important employers in the coal towns, they dominated the local labour market. In Glace Bay in 1930 the Dominion Coal Company employed two-thirds of the male work force. Furthermore, as the owners of company stores and company houses, the coal companies were also powerful merchants and landlords.

  • The Old Train Station News
    The Old Train Station News Newsletter #57 November 2013 The shorter, darker and colder days of November are great for cozying up with a book or a project and perfect for delving into some research. Last month the museum was the recipient of a fine collection of new material, compliments of David MacDonald of Bayfield. This treasure trove of memorabilia sheds some light on the life and times of David’s granduncle, Father Leo B. Sears – student, soldier, educator and priest. Photos and papers document his service overseas, his years at Oxford, his seminary training and ordination in Rome, his subsequent return to Antigonish and a teaching career at St. F. X., and, finally, his twenty-five year vocation as parish priest in industrial Cape Breton. A collection of correspondence indicates that Leo had many great friends and that he was well regarded – but one particular piece of communication piqued my curiosity. A letter dated 1984 and written by a certain J. F. Bates of Glace Bay reads: “Was surprised to hear that someone had contacted you re: a possible reunion of the St. F. X. Unit. How ridiculous I say.” Apparently, J. F. Bates and Leo Sears had both served with the St. F. X. Hospital Unit during World War I – but why would a reunion be so absurd? This calls for a bit of an investigation. First of all, who was this outspoken J. F. Bates? Assuming that he and Leo Sears were university classmates, we searched old editions of The Xaverian for a bit of information and , sure enough, the May 1921 edition reveals a graduation photo and some notes that indicate that “Fabe” or “Fabie”, as he was known on campus, came to St.
