Notes:
- "Entre-temps, l'industrie des fonderies connait une autre grève.
Le 23 mars 1875, les employés de la fonderie de Chanteloup
cessent le travail plutôt que d'accepter un retour de la semaine
de travail de soixante heures. (Depuis 1872, les ouvriers travaillent
54 heures par semaine et chôment le samedi après-midi.
Il semble que Chanteloup vise à augmenter les heures de travail
sans octroyer aucune augmentation salariale.)"

- "Né en 1852, Joseph-Arthur Vincent se définit comme un
«modeleur en argile, sculpteur en bois et spécialiste de
travaux d'église». Il ouvre son atelier rue de La
Gauchetière en 1879, après une dizaine d'années
passées à la fonderie Ernest Chanteloup comme artiste
dessinateur. Bien qu'il soit un sculpteur actif dans la région
de Montréal à la fin du XIXe
siàcle, l'étendue de sa production demeure difficule
à évaluer, et on sait peu de choses à son sujet."

Canadian lighthouses, supplied the lantern and lighting apparatus at
a cost of $683.26, and Malachi Parker was hired as the first keeper
of Mulholland Lighthouse. The towers light was shown from a height
of sixty feet and was visible up to thirteen miles."
