Administrative history
The earliest records of shipping and harbor affairs date from 1841 and were kept by the Officer of Customs, entitled the Harbor Master, and placed under the Treasury Board in the Ministry of the Interior. In 1845, an act to organize the Executive Departments, the Treasury Board was dissolved and its functions were taken over by the newly created Ministry of Finance.
