It was a frigid night in February 2013 when the five young fishermen vanished. The crew of the Miss Ally - a 12-metre Cape Islander from Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia - was fishing for halibut far off the Nova Scotia coast when their boat’s spotlight malfunctioned. A vicious winter storm was approaching from her south, and all other boats at the fishing grounds were steaming for shore. Unable to locate his longlining gear, the Miss Ally’s young captain decided to stay an extra day to retrieve the gear and, hopefully, a big catch.

For centuries, ships' commanders kept journals that recorded their missions. These included voyages of discovery to unknown lands, engagements in war and sea and general trade. Many of their logs, diaries and letters were lodged at The National Archives and give a vivid picture of the situations that they encountered. Entries range from Captain James Cook's notes of his discovery of the South Pacific and Australia, to logs of the great naval battles, such as Waterloo and Trafalgar.

Qui aurait cru qu'au XXIe siècle Ford se lancerait dans la fabrication des trottinettes ? Électriques, bien sûr, mais encore... Néanmoins, rien d'étonnant si l'on se rappelle que l'histoire de l'automobile est marquée par les progrès techniques, les moyens de production, les changements sociaux et même par les modes en vigueur, en plus d'être étroitement liée aux conjonctures économiques et politiques, nationales et internationales.

C'est l'histoire d'un rêve millénaire. Concrétisé il y a à peine cent ans, le vol piloté ne cesse de se transformer et de nous surprendre. Aussi, difficile d'imaginer qu'à la fin des années 1930, les passagers avaient droit à des repas de haute qualité servis dans de la porcelaine chinoise, avant de se préparer à dormir dans une couchette confortable. Il fallait toutefois compter de longues heures de trajet pour de courtes distances en traversant fréquemment des zones de turbulence.
