The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord in their pre-publication format at the Canadian theses site of the Library and Archives Canada, Theses Canada.These volumes bring together an impressive compilation of information from primary sources, so impressive as to have use as reference works.One barrier to their use as such is the absence of an index in either volume.This lack is offset to a limited extent by the use of a very detailed outline / table of contents which eases the task of finding where a particular aspect might be found.Overall, these two studies should be considered among the more important works published in any language on the maritime history of Quebec.Their rich detail enables the reader to use them to move far beyond the concentration on pilotage and they provide, as does the river St. Lawrence itself, a channel leading to a better understanding of the nautical history of the entire region.
