Disaster and Discovery on Canada’s East Coast
By Roger Marsters
About this book From the dramatic rescue attempt of the passengers of the S.S. Atlantic in 1873 to the sinking of the bulk carrier MV Flare in 1982, disaster at sea is a continual reminder of the ocean’s annihilating power.
This book recounts the compelling stories of many of the most exciting shipwrecks on Canada’s east coast: S.S. Atlantic, HMS Tribune, the Chameau, the offshore oil rig Ocean Ranger. The narratives highlight the cause of each wreck, attempts at rescue and, in many cases, the present-day preservation of the wreck sites. These sites, once the playthings of treasure hunters, are now recognized as unparalleled sources of knowledge about our past.
Illustrated in colour with artifacts, underwater photography and historical visuals, Shipwreck Treasures tracks four centuries of marine disasters on Canada’s eastern seaboard.

Portrait of a Military Fortress
By Brian Cuthbertson Photographs by Julian Beveridge
About this book The Halifax Citadel was a great bastion of the British Empire, the impregnable shield of the “Warden of the North”.
Today it is one of Canada's most famous landmarks: every year thousands visit the star-shaped fortress, watch the traditional firing of the noon-day gun and roam the ramparts and the fortified buildings where British soldiers were once garrisoned. They watch the re-enactment of military exercises by men and women in authentic 19th-century military uniforms, and enjoy the music of the pipe band in the Parade. This richly-illustrated history conveys the lively martial pageantry of this unparalleled attraction.
This book offers background on the Halifax Citadel and its history, exploring the lives of soldiers and their families stationed in Hailfax in the 19th century.

Beautiful Ontario Towns
By Fred Dahms
About this book
Beautiful Ontario Towns captures the unique heritage preserved in southwestern Ontario’s small towns and villages.
Fred Dahms has selected ten prosperous, picturesque communities that offer a welcome respite for city dwellers looking for a pleasant outing — or a new place to live. Some, like St. Jacobs, Elora and St. Marys, are already well known. Others, like Neustadt or Thornbury, are an unexpected surprise. Each of these settlements would make a comfortable and enjoyable day’s outing for residents of Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo or the other large cities of southwestern Ontario.
Fred Dahms, who has made a special study of small towns in the province, shares his knowledge of each place’s history, its amenities and the reasons for its success. Lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, Beautiful Ontario Towns also includes maps and key statistical information for each place.
