Special thanks go to Mr. Marc Cocard for the reproduction of ancient instruments, to Mr. Guy Montreuil for the restoration of instruments from the Department of Geomatics Sciences, to the Canadian Hydrographic Service for the authorization to use their nautical charts and to the Department of Geomatics Sciences for the loan of hydrographic and surveying instruments from its collection, and to all those who contributed directly or indirectly to the realization of this exhibition.
