	Atlantic Insight-Bill Belliveau-Moncton NB-political and social commentary on current economic impact events facing ...
		Atlantica is premised on the age old notion that prior to Confederation, Maritime trade patterns were north-south and the region was an economic powerhouse, trading with the United States, the Caribbean, Europe and northern Africa.
		In the 1880s, the Maritime Provinces also suffered from the highest rate of out-migration in Canada and a population growth rate that was only 1.1% as compared to 13.5% in the previous decade.
		When the CPR was completed, Maritime industries initially viewed the railway as a means of accessing markets in Ontario and Quebec but by the 1890s it was a floodgate through which inexpensive goods produced by much larger central Canadian manufacturers drowned out small domestic producers in the Maritimes.

	Maritimes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Situated in the Atlantic Northeast, the Maritimes are northeast of New England, southeast of Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula, and southwest of Newfoundland.
		Maritime trading patterns shifted considerably from mainly trading with New England, Britain, and the Caribbean, to being focused on commerce with the Canadian interior, enforced by the federal government's tariff policies.
		British settlement of the Maritimes, as the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island came to be known, accelerated throughout the late 18th century and into the 19th century with significant immigration to the region as a result of Scottish migrants displaced by the Highland Clearances and Irish escaping the potato famine.

		Maritime archaeology is a discipline that studies human interaction with the sea, lakes and rivers through the study of vessels, shore side facilities, cargoes and human remains.
		Maritime archaeology can be divided in a three-tier hierarchy, of which the first tier consists of the archaeology of shipwrecks and wreck sites.
		The Maritime Alps are drained by the rivers Roya, Var and Verdon and their tributaries on the French side; by the Stura di Demonte and other tributaries of the Tanaro and Po on the Italian side.

	Six Crucial Decades: Times of Change in the History of the Maritimes. by Andrew Robb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Modest in his description of the book as a summing up of some of the recent scholarship in Maritime history, with the general non-specialist reader in mind, Reid has given us a thoughtful and original overview of the theme of change in the Maritimes.
		Reid chose to illustrate the theme of change by focusing his attention on what he considered to be the six most significant decades of change in Maritime history.
		One could wish, of course, that he had chosen to examine another decade or two, perhaps the 1840s or the 1960s, but this line of thought soon leads to the conclusion that what is needed is a new overview of Maritime history.

		The Maritimes or Maritime provinces is a region of Canada on the Atlantic coast, consisting of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
		The Maritimes are located northeast of New England, southeast of Quebec's Gaspé peninsula, and southwest of Newfoundland.
		There is occasional talk of a Maritime Union of the three provinces to have a greater say in national affairs, however, the first discussions on the subject in 1864 at the Charlottetown Conference led to the larger Canadian Confederation instead.

	Mattabesic
		It also does not take a great deal of arithmetic to realize that, with 60 villages and 10,000 people, their villages were small, and the population of many of the individual tribes was less than 500.
		The Mattabesic political organization was fairly typical of all coastal Algonquin between the Canadian Maritimes and North Carolina in 1600 - highly organized confederations like the Narragansett, Pequot, Mahican, and Powhatan being the exception rather the rule.
		WHile this could be interpreted as a lack of political sophistication, the absence of central authority among the Algonquin indicates that, as a rule, they usually managed to live in peace with one another and had little need for the complex political structures required by warfare.

		Marquis highlights Maritimers' growing support for the beleaguered Confederacy, despite the colonies' official neutrality, and the grave implications this had for local race relations.
		He describes the impact of refugees, crimping, and recruiting on Maritimers' attitudes and recounts the experiences of some of the thousands of men born in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island who served in the Civil War.
		Drawing extensively on newspaper reports, personal papers, and local histories, Marquis captures the drama of events as they unfolded, effectively putting the reader into the thick of the action and into the minds of the individuals involved.

		To survive in the harsh climate of the Canadian Maritimes, the Micmac traditionally had abandoned members thought to be incurably ill or injured.
		The worst year in the Canadian Maritimes was 1617, and before the epidemic had run its course, it had killed almost three-quarters of the native population.
		By 1610 the French presence in the Maritimes was limited to a tiny settlement at Port Royal and single trading post on Penobscot River in Maine.

	Report of Activities 1999: Calder No. 1
		The Joggins section is one of the most important Carboniferous sections in the world and is of strategic importance in interpreting the history of the Maritimes Basin, which in turn links the geological history of northeastern North America and western Europe (Calder, 1998).
		In the Maritimes Basin, this challenge is heightened by the virtual absence of one of the most useful plant groups that make a marked appearance in the Westphalian, this being the densospore-producing group of lycopsids.
		Their paucity in the Maritimes Basin has been attributed to unfavourable ecological conditions, supported by the interpretation from the rocks of a more seasonally stressed climate in the Maritimes than in Western Europe and the Appalachian and Interior basins of the United States (Calder, 1991, 1998).
