| Administrative history: | Until 1855, there were two government establishments regulating shipping and trade in Nova Scotia. The customs officers of the British Empire, appointed and controlled by the board of customs in England, enforced the imperial laws relating to navigation and trade. Those employed at the customs house performed a variety of tasks, which included: collecting imperial customs duties; registering and surveying vessels; granting certificates of origin for colonial produce; supervising the establishment and discharging of merchant seamen; and recording the traffic of vessels “inwards and outwards” form a port. At the same time, a provincially controlled impost and excise administration, with provincially appointed officers, had also developed to collect taxes levied by the Nova Scotia legislature. By January 1855, imperial trade and navigation laws remained in place; responsibility for their enforcement and administration in Nova Scotia was now in the hands of provincial officials. However, after confederation in 1867, Canada’s new federal government assumed control over customs and navigation and shipping. The Port of Pubnico was opened in 1850. During its eighty year existence, the Port had seven collectors: Thomas Willet (1850-1854), Simon d’Entremont (1854-1864), Peter S. d’Entremont (1864-1894), Joseph A. d’Entremont (1894-1898), William H. Amirault (1898-1910), Leon Belliveau (1910-1921), and Charles V. Amirault (1921-1931). In 1931, the Port of Pubnico was closed. |
