Summary:
"
Canadian
Confederate
Cruiser
tells the
story
of an elegant but unpretentious
steamer
that bore witness to the birth of a nation. In 1864, the
Queen
Victoria
took the Fathers of Confederation from Quebec to Charlottetown and back. Long before she could be given the recognition she deserved, the
Queen
Victoria
was lost in a hurricane off Cape Hatteras, the crew and passengers rescued by the American brig Ponvert. That incident and the events that followed it put the lost vessel into the international limelight and tweaked diplomatic relations between Canada and the United States. John Langley, the author behind Steam Lion, the award-winning biography of Samuel Cunard, documents the life of this
steamer
and the unlikely cross-border tug-of-war that developed over her bell. In telling the
Queen
Victoria
story
, Langley provides a better understanding of the social and political forces that led to Confederation, explaining the pivotal choices that were made."--From publisher.
