Industry Lost to Canada in Early Shipbuilding History
A historical survey traces Canadian shipbuilding from 1605 at Fort Royal in Annapolis and the later Atlantic voyages from Quebec to the West Indies and France. It notes Nova Scotia’s rise to a leading shipbuilding region by 1880, driven by metal industries and steam power, yet explains the decline to 1900 as wood-to-metal transition reduced overall Canadian tonnage.

Earth population density contrasts and historic famine
A Popular Defence Monthly piece notes that despite a hypothetical 414 percent population growth every century since Christ, global density remains uneven. England and Wales, and the United States show rapid growth while vast regions like Central Asia, Russia, the Americas, Africa, and Australia could hold more people. It cites historical devastation by Turks in the Danube valley and broader famine and massacre effects in Macedonia and Asia Minor, resulting in desert-like conditions.
