Admiral Bayfield provided navigation charts, detailed maps of shorelines, and the first Sailing Directions for the Gulf and River of St. Lawrence. This is the biography of the man who surveyed practically the entire shoreline from Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean, and who retired 11 years before Confederation"--Introduction.
