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
