Barques, Brigantines and Brigs : Shipbuilding on the Baie des Chaleurs
|
| Abstract |
A history of shipbuilding along the Gaspé Coast in the nineteenth-century. The author points out that between 1762 and 1895, there were at least 460 ocean-going vessels built on the Gaspé Coast, mostly brigantines and schooners, with some brigs and barques. At least forty people built vessels on the Gaspé Coast in the nineteenth century. The longest-running and highest producing shipyard was Charles Robin & Company of Paspébiac, which operated from 1791 to about 1900. Another shipyard was in New Richmond, owned by William Cuthbert, which built two of the largest vessel on the coast -- the Saxon, 787 tons, built in 1846, and the Cuthbert, 914 tons, built in 1848.
