From the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century, Prince Edward Island enjoyed one of the most robust shipbuilding industries in the world. This study details the way in which shipbuilding transformed the island’s economy by creating a wealthy merchant class, employing multitudes of tradespeople, and facilitating the distribution of timber and agricultural products. Data from the local shipping register gives an account of the industry’s production cycles and system of finance.

Very comprehensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shipbuilding on Prince Edward Island: Enterprise in a Maritime Setting 1787-1920 (Mercury Series) (Paperback)
This is a highly informative book not only for those living on Prince Edward Island but for anyone interested in shipbuilding. Beautifully presented with pictures of ships on one page and informative writing on the opposite page, this is a wonderful piece of literature. I highly recommend it, even as one who has not been to P.E.I.
