Description
Summary:Compiled from manuscript drawings and notes taken by A. C. Buchanan Esquire, His Majesty's Chief Agent for Emigration in Upper and Lower Canada, from practical observations made by him and by experienced navigators with whom he sailed on frequent occasions; intended to illustrate his plan as reported to His Majesty's Government, for rendering the navigation of the Gulf and River St Lawrence less dangerous, by placing a Light Ship with a bell to be tolled in foggy weather on the western end of the Green Bank and also a Stationary Light on the easternmost Bird Island as exhibited in this chart: such light ship presenting a safe object to be run for by the doubtful or unskilled mariner, and from which a fresh departure could be taken and the dangerous coast about Cape Breton and St Pauls Island avoided.
