	Atlantic Schooners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atlantic Schooners was a conditional Canadian Football League expansion team in 1984, to play out of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

	Fisheries History
		Canada's Atlantic fishery was the attraction that drew the first Europeans to the northern half of North America.
		Schooners (fore-and-aft rigged vessels such as the BLUENOSE), in search of cod, halibut and haddock on banks, carried dories; fishermen would set out in these rowboats and bring fish back for splitting and salting on board the schooners.
		In the 1960s the federal government encouraged purse-seining on the Atlantic, despite the overfishing of herring stocks on the Pacific coast, where purse-seining of herring was banned from 1967 to 1972.

	Transatlantic Slave Trade
		Slave vessels sailed from Europe with large crews, including surgeons, carpenters, coopers (barrel-workers), cooks (some of whom were of African descent), sailors (who apprenticed to sea at a young age), and others hired to guard slaves on the African coast and on the Middle Passage, where threats of rebellion and insurrection were constant.
		In comparison with other Atlantic traders, however, most slave vessels were small, relatively inexpensive vessels, and were rigged for speed.
		As an Atlantic maritime enterprise, however, the transatlantic slave trade is well documented: European governments taxed vessels clearing and entering customs, and many newspapers and colonial gazettes survive, as do general shipping documents such as muster rolls and ship registers.

		Smaller schooners used in the oyster industry were launched from shipyards at Greenwich and Dorchester as late as 1929 and 1930.

		Likewise, in Atlantic City, the labor force of the hotel industry was unable to organize in the face of a shortage of jobs and long lines of unemployed who were eager to take their places.

	Schooners - Nova Scotia Archives & Records Management
		Of all the wooden vessels that have sailed in Nova Scotia waters, perhaps the best-known and best-loved is the schooner.
		Today the schooner lingers on as a wisp of the past, lovingly preserved in the few working models which survive in North America and elsewhere; or carefully replicated in expensive limited numbers, mostly for the yachting trade.
		Nowhere is this more obvious than in Nova Scotia, where schooners were the backbone of the coastal trade — every seaside community had at least one or two carrying produce, fish and passengers to larger towns, bringing goods back, and in general providing the equivalent of modern-day trucking services to isolated settlements along the shoreline.

	The Pride of Captain Peter
		The Arichat area did provide a training ground for the Atlantic fisheries and Peter, his father, siblings and cousins learned their lessons well, for after the move to the Bras d'Or area they owned some dozen schooners, sailed the Lakes and the Atlantic for over forty years, and never lost a man to the sea.
		The larger schooners were one hundred feet or more in length, but they were relatively few in number compared to those between say forty and sixty feet, and the role played by the smaller vessels in the local economy was probably much greater.
		A schooner of its size required a crew of but four or five, perhaps fewer when engaged in freighting on moderate seas, and Peter probably relied primarily on sons and nephews to man the Queen and his other schooners.
