For his contributions as an author and collector who is dedicated to preserving the maritime history of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Jean-Pierre Andrieux is committed to keeping NewfoundlandÆs maritime history alive. For more than 35 years, this businessman has been amassing original documents and photographs that detail the role Europeans played in the settlement of Newfoundland and Labrador. He has written more than 20 books, in both English and French, on such topics as the cod fishery, North Atlantic sailing ships and rum running. As well, his collection of more than 40 000 pictures of ships and schooners will be an important resource for historians and a lasting legacy for Newfoundlanders.
