Biographical history
Marshall Bourinot was born on May 11, 1838, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. He was a mining entrepreneur and wealthy merchant in Cape Breton Island. In 1858, he acquired the lease for the Block House Mines. Robert Belloni, a New York coal dealer, entered into a business partnership with Bourinot under the name Bourinot & Co. to operate the Block House Mines, which in 1861 shipped 6000 tons of coal to New York in American vessels. After selling his share of Block House Mines to Belloni, Bourinot speculated in prospective coal properties. In 1862, he married Laura Harrington Fixott. He died in Port Hastings, Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada.
