Wagonways are the horses, equipment, and tracks used for hauling wagons which preceded steam powered railways. The idea of using "tracked" roads is at least 2000 years old; quarries in Greece, Malta, and the Roman Empire used cut stone tracks to haul loads pulled by animals. Around 1550 German miners used wooden rails and pushcarts with flanged wheels to move ore from the mines. In 1604 a wagonway was built to transport coal fro ...

All three provinces are currently governed by provincial Progressive Conservative parties. However, Maritime Conservatism since the Second World War has been very much part of the Red Tory tradition, key influences being former Nova Scotia Premier and federal PC leader Robert Stanfield and New Brunswick Tory strategist Dalton Camp. In recent years the social-democratic New Democratic Party has made significant inroads both federally and provincially in the region. The NDP has elected MPs from New Brunswick, but most of the focus of th ...

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (29 September 1571 – 18 July 1610) was an Italian artist active in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610. He is commonly placed in the Baroque school, on which he had a formative influence. Even in his own lifetime Caravaggio was enigmatic, fascinating, and dangerous. He burst upon the Rome art scene in 1600, and never afterwards lacked commissions or patrons, yet handled his success extremely badly. The very earliest published notice on him, dating from 1604 and describing his ...

Maritime society is based upon a mixture of traditions and class backgrounds. Predominantly rural until recent decades, the region traces many of its cultural activities to those rural resource-based economies of fishing, farming, forestry, and coal mining. While Maritimers are predominantly of west European heritage (Scottish, Irish, English, French - also called Acadians), immigration to industrial Cape Breton during the hey-day of coal mining and steel manufacturing brought people from eastern Europe as well as Newfoundland. The Ma ...
