	The following short list of persons and/or organizations helped made this project a reality. There are many others who I never had the pleasure of meeting, and still more I know nothing about. My gratitude and thanks goes out to them all. However, this page will be under construction for some time and I expect this list to lengthen. Ken Annett, who kindly shared with us his 400 monographs covering numerous shipwrecks along the Gaspé Coast. David Asprey, who contributed generously from his extensive knowledge of ships and navigation. Marine History Information Exchange, and the 450+ knowledgeable, considerate and generous members who endured my quiries. Eileen Reid Marcil, author of "Charley Man", by far the most knowledgeable person on the history of wooden shipbuilding in the St. Lawrence, who clarified many obscure points. Mireille Dupuis, whose devotion to painting square riggers in all their glory got me interested in the Colborne, plus her generous contribution of documentation and sources. Musée de Gaspé, who presently hold the orginals on the 1983 student study on the Colborne. The National Library at Ottawa, who kindly made access to the 1838 Quebec Gazette on microfilm a reality. The National Archives, Ottawa, who's technical support is greatly appreciated. Many thanks to the personnel at Bibliothèque Jean-Louis Desrosiers at Mont Joli for sharing their expertise, patience and enthouiasm. Special thanks goes to Daniel LaRoche for sharing his library expertise with us in solving several problems whose answer were far from evident. Anyone I haven't included who contributed to this project, please e-mail me at: [email protected]
