The 1929 magnitude 7.2 Grand Banks earthquake : felt reports from the dominions of Canada and Newfoundland and islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, France / M. Lamontagne and K.B.S Burke.: M183-2/8353E-PDF
"The 18 November 1929 Magnitude (M) 7.2 earthquake is the largest historical earthquake of eastern Canada. The earthquake was felt over most of Newfoundland and Labrador, at St-Pierre and Miquelon, in the Maritimes, eastern Quebec and New England. In this Open File Report, we include scans of the original felt information questionnaires that were received by the Dominion Observatory shortly after the earthquake occurred and other felt information from Canada, the Dominion of Newfoundland and St-Pierre and Miquelon. For each locality, the felt information is rated on the Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) scale and tabulated in a Microsoft Excel sheet. Some 155 MMI reports are listed. This Open File is a pilot project that aims at evaluating the level of effort required to have all similar macroseismic information of Canadian earthquakes included in an intensity database. A total of about four weeks of work was necessary to produce this Open File Report"--Abstract, p. 3.
