About this title

Synopsis

House of Troop: The Rise and Fall of the Great Canadian Square-Rigged Sailing Fleet tells of the fortunes and misfortunes of the wind ships, their builders, their owners and the bold seamen who manned them. It is a study of how these entrepreneurs grew, prospered, struggled and declined in the golden age of wooden sailing ships on Canada's east coast. Triumphs and disasters for the ships and crews came as they spread commerce across the world in the nineteenth century. It was an age when small ports of the Bay of Fundy supplied ships, timber and seamen to the world. Portraits illustrate the style of the ships.

About the Author

The author, Donal Baird, is a Canadian history writer who grew up beside the harbor of Saint John, NB, the heart of the action in the sailing ship era. He has written also of the history and role of tugboats and of the sea captains' wives who lived on board with them in those tough, dangerous times.
