Excerpt: ...In February, 1835, the following account was also published in the magazine: --" The ' Elizabeth Rashleigh, ' of Plymouth, from Quebec for Padstow, experienced a violent gale of wind from w. s. w., on the 4th u1t., in 48 N., long. 27 w., and became water-logged. During the storm, six of the crew were washed overboard; the master, two mates and three seamen took to the long-boat, and were icked up by the ' Caroline, ' after having been nine days in that perilous state, during w ich time one of the unfortunate sufierers died insane. As the only means of saving their lives, the survivors were obliged to have recourse to the horrible expedient of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of their deceased shipmate, even to the entrails. Previously their only sustenance had been a few raw potatoes, ' which had been exhausted for some days, though only a single potato was served out to each man per diem. The captain, Rashleigh, still lies at Plymouth, in a very dangerous state." In February, 1836, an account was published respecting the " Earl Killie," Captain Hindmarsh, formerly an East-india-man, a vessel about 560 tons, left Quebec on the 15th of November, loaded Mr. G. c. S, 't;, . with deals, bound to London, with a crew of 28 men and one passenger. She was upset 4 June 1839. in a gale of wind; several men perished.

Book Description
Sager and Panting describe in detail the growth of the shipping industry and the economic context in which the shipping merchants operated. Shipowning and shipbuilding were a central part of the mercantile economy of the Atlantic colonies of British North America. But, following a slow and incomplete transition in the region from commercial to industrial capitalism, the shipping industry collapsed: by 1900 the local fleets were a third of their size a mere two decades earlier. The shipowners of the region, Sager and Panting argue, were merchants first: they shifted their investments to landward enterprises because they believed Confederation offered new and better possibilities for commercial exchange. Canadian capital and the Canadian state acted together to build transcontinental railways but gave little support for a Canadian merchant navy. Maritimers became Canadians and turned away from their seaward past, thereby relinquishing control and management of the industrial economy that followed the age of wood, wind, and sail. Drawing upon both the data base of the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project and important secondary sources, Sager and Panting show that the merchant class, in failing to maintain a merchant marine built and owned in their region, contributed in no small way to the Maritimes' present state of underdevelopment.
