Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada

Price: $49.95 plus 15% HST for a total of $57.44 (CAD).

To place an order for your copy of Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada please see below.

Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada is a fully searchable downloadable database containing data on the vessels, captains and crews of Great Britain and Atlantic Canada, 1787-1936.

It contains information on the shipping industry of Atlantic Canada, derived from two British record series, structured as three interactive databases that allow the user to search, sort and query the data.

The first database is compiled from the Certificates of Registry for 10 major ports of Atlantic Canada: Miramichi, Richibucto and Saint John in New Brunswick; Halifax, Sydney, Pictou, Windsor and Yarmouth in Nova Scotia; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; and St. John's, Newfoundland, from 1787 to 1936 (outside dates). It contains information on the vessels registered at each port and on their owners. Shipping registers for the port of Bermuda are also included on the database.

The second database is compiled from the crew agreements of vessels registered in the ports of Saint John, New Brunswick; Yarmouth, Windsor and Halifax, Nova Scotia for the period 1863-1914. This file contains information on the masters and seafarers who crewed the vessels, their ports of call and voyages. In total the file contains information on 182,000 seafarers and 20,000 masters of Atlantic Canadian vessels.

A third database contains a one per cent sample of crew agreements from non-Canadian (British) vessels which was compiled for comparative purposes. The data is arranged in the same format as the file described above and contains 85,000 records of individual seamen and 19,000 records of masters.

These databases were originally created for the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project, a major research project undertaken by maritime historians at Memorial University over a six year period from 1976 to 1982.

Requirements:

  • 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems
  • IBM-compatible PC with a minimum of 512 megabytes of RAM memory
  • Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 operating systems*

**Please note that the database is not compatible with Mac operating systems.**

A list of surnames in the database can be found on the Surnames from Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada page.

*Installing the Ships and Seafarers database on the Vista operating system may generate an installation error which normally can be corrected by following the guidelines at http://www.mun.ca/mha/cd/vista_bde.html. However, the MHA will offer only limited support.
