Le bois d'œuvre et le port de Montréal, 1830-1870 : une approche dendroarchéologique

| Abstract |
With Napoleon's continental blockade between 1806 and 1814, Britain placed preferential taxes on Canadian timber. The consequence was the stimulation of the Canadian timber trade industry in the nineteenth century, which resulted in the expansion of Montreal and its harbour. The author examines the impact of the commercial evolution of the timber industry between 1830 and 1870, and the part it played in the construction of buildings and infrastructure in Montreal. From warehouses, harbour wharves and suburban houses, wood products (principally eastern white cedar, white pine and oak) played a key role in the evolutionary relationship between Montreal, as a central-city, and its hinterland. Using a dendrochronological approach, the author analyzes the timber used in building construction in Montreal (specifically Robert Gillespie's warehouses on what is now de la Commune Street West; the Smith warehouses on place D'Youville; and homes in suburban Faubourg Quebec), tracing the timber trade route from consumption back to the original forest on Mont Saint-Hilaire.
