A business story about the visionaries who built the industry from the ground up, Offshore Dream traces the chronology of the sector from the 1950s through to the present day. Along the way, award-winning business journalists Jim Meek and Eleanor Beaton detail the under-the-radar 1971 visit from Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, the ongoing battle between oil developers and the fishing industry over Georges Bank, and the ultimate success of the Sable Offshore Energy Project. With a photo insert and chronology of exploration history, Offshore Dream is the definitive business history of Nova Scotia oil and gas.
