The St. Lawrence River built communities, powered commerce, and connected a nation. But what was it like to live and work on its canals?

In Views from the Pilot House, readers explore the forgotten world of the canalers, sailors, lockmasters, and labourers who spent their lives on the historic St. Lawrence canals. Through firsthand accounts, archival research, and rare photographs, the author brings to life the people who navigated the river's rapids, built its canals, and witnessed the sweeping changes brought by the St. Lawrence Seaway.

From Irish immigrants carving canals through stone to captains guiding ships through narrow locks, these are the stories of resilience, hardship, and adaptation along one of Canada's most important waterways.

A fascinating blend of local history and human stories, Views from the Pilot House offers readers a unique perspective on a vanished era of the St. Lawrence River.
