The committee prepared this paper to dispel errors in previous
reports on the Bay of Fundy. Specially, they sought to erase the impression that the bay is unsafe for navigation due to fogs, uncertain
tides and lack of light houses. By 1887, the steamship age had begun and most risks, they argue were averted.

Gardiner Green Hubbard (1822-1897) was the father of Mabel Hubbard Bell, the wife of Alexander Graham Bell. Hubbard was a
patent lawyer from Cambridge Mass who had a special interest in mechanical and electrical inventions. He was also very public
spirited and was President of the Clarke Institution for Deaf Mutes. It was in this role that he first met Bell. Hubbard became
interested in education for the deaf through his daughter Mabel. Due to scarlet fever at age 5 she became totally and permanently
deaf. He was an early advocate of oral communication being taught to deaf students. Bell’s “Visible Speech “ in deaf education was
of great interest to him. They also shared an interest in telegraphy. From early on in their relationship, Hubbard became a business
partner of Bell’s promoting & encouraging among other things his early work with the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell
(“Sandy”) Fairchild (1906-1994) was the grandson of AGB and the great-grandson of Gardiner Green Hubbard. Hubbard was
the first President of the National Geographic Society."Sandy" Fairchild was a well known entomologist with a specialty in "horse
flies".

Cod was always the most abundant species and was easily dried,
salted or stored in salt brine and shipped back to the Europeans as
a much needed food staple. The typical fishery process consisted of
large schooners about forty tons, manned by the average of five
men and also many shorehands. The vessels would offload the cod
for the shoremen to split and lay out the cod on the racks or, as in
this photograph, on spruce bows to be dried and salted.

John C. M. Hayward was born in Newfoundland in either 1876 or
1879 and the first record we have for his studio was found in
McAlpine's Halifax City Directory for 1923. He had studios on
Gottingen, Maynard, Upper Water, Granville, Grafton, South and
Buckingham Street. From 1926 -1930, the directories list him as a
photographer for the Chronicle/Star newspapers, Halifax, N.S. The
earliest photograph by him in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia is
dated 1920 (The Governor-General and wife, the Duke and Duchess
of Devonshire in Sydney, N.S. July 31, 1920) and the most recent is
1950 (The Anglican Synod in May, 1950). He is mostly know for his
pictures of the Royal Canadian Navy and life in Halifax during
World war II. Also his series of photographs of the Navy Munitions explosion in Dartmouth on July 18, 1945 are exceptionally well
done as it occurred a night. He died in December of 1950.

At the age of 37, MacAskill received the first recognition which was to be given
him as an individual photographer, and not as an employee of a studio. In 1924,
"Grey Dawn" was shown at the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain,
which was undoubtedly one of the last international salons to exhibit works
influenced by the Pictorialist Movement.
