Louis-Antoine, Comte de Bougainville (12 November 1729 – 31 August 1811) was a
French admiral and explorer. A contemporary of the British explorer James Cook, he took
part in the Seven Years' War in North America and the American Revolutionary War against
Britain. Bougainville later gained fame for his expeditions, including circumnavigation of
the globe in a scientific expedition, the first recorded settlement on the Falkland Islands, and
voyages into the Pacific Ocean. Bougainville Island of Papua New Guinea was named for
him. John Law (baptised 21 April 1671 – 21 March 1729) was a Scottish economist who
believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself
and that national wealth depended on trade. He was appointed Controller General of
Finances of France under the Duke of Orleans, regent for the youthful king, Louis XV.

Wallace gives the name of the vessel, size & weight, and where and by whom built. Also in most
cases when available, the Canadian port of registry, when it was lost or sunk & the type of rigging;
baroque, barquentine or brig. This is a very comprehensive and exhaustive listing of mainly square-
rigged vessels of 500 tons and over, except for those built prior to 1840. Even with these
restrictions, approximately 3700 vessels have been recorded in this volume. Apart from the hope
that it will be of some value to the archivist, the author believes that it will aid the collector of
nautical paintings, prints, photographs and marine memorabilia in identifying his items as well as
affording a source of basic information for the historian. [from Introduction]
