Seafaring Labour

The Merchant Marine of Atlantic Canada, 1820-1914

By: Eric W. Sager

Sager argues that sailors were not misfits or outcasts but were divorced from society only by virtue of their occupation. The wooden ships were small communities at sea, fragments of normal society where workers lived, struggled, and often died. With the coming of the age of steam, the sailor became part of a new division of labour and a new social hierarchy at sea. Sager shows that the sailor was as integral to the transition to industrial capitalism as any land worker.

Maritime Capital

The Shipping Industry in Atlantic Canada, 1820-1914

By: Eric W. Sager,Gerald E. Panting

In this final volume of the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project, Sager and Panting argue that the decline of the shipping industry was not, as has commonly been assumed, the inevitable result of the conversion from wood and sail to iron and steam. They 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.

Ships and Memories

Merchant Seafarers in Canada's Age of Steam

By: Eric W. Sager

Canada is a great maritime nation. Although ships and the sea have been part of its history for centuries, very little is known about the men and women who have worked in its coastal and lake fleets. Ships and Memories is a fascinating account of life at sea during the age of steam. In it, seafarers tell ther own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. Eric Sager draws on interviews with master mariners, engineers, able seamen, cooks, stewards, and many others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950.

Unwilling Idlers

The Urban Unemployed and Their Families in Late Victorian Canada

By: Peter A. Baskerville,Eric W. Sager

Unwilling Idlers looks at the unemployed and their families in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in six Canadian cities: Victoria, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Montreal, and Halifax. The authors provide a social profile of the men and women who identified themselves as unemployed, relate the phenomenon of unemployment to family characteristics and life cycles, and explore the importance of geographical location and seasonal occupation as defining characteristics of the unemployed. The authors assess the impact of unemployment on living standards and show how workers and their families tried to cope with the problem."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
