Synopsis
This is an illustrated record of the historical and hard-working ships that have shaped our history and our maritime heritage, current to the year 2001. The ships included belong to the Canadian Coast Guard and its predecessors, to the Customs Preventive Service, patrol vessels of the RCMP, and the civilian-crewed vessels of the Canadian Naval Auxiliary Service. These ships are hydrographic survey vessels, icebreakers, fisheries patrol boats, search and rescue craft both station-based and offshore, lighthouse supply vessels and buoytenders, lightships, tugs, and northern exploration ships.
Work histories, specifications and photographs (some quite rare) or paintings of each ship are given. A wonderful illustrated reference book for ship enthusiasts of all ages, for researchers and ship modellers.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Berube, Yves (illustrator). First Edition. "A comprehensive record of Canadian government owned and operated ships, from the mid 1800s to the present. They are the civilian-crewed ships of the Canadian Coast Guard, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Hydrographic Service, the RCMP, the Customs Preventive Service, and the Canadian Naval Auxiliary Service - and their predecessor organizations. Includes ships of widely different size and design with specialized tasks involving marine safety, security, research and regulation. Although primarily restricted to ships of 100 gross registered tons or more, some of the important smaller ships, such as search and rescue cutters and lifeboats, are covered as well. Hovercraft, first entering service in 1968, are also included. Many ships are illustrated in rare old photographs digitally enhanced for clarity, in sketches and paintings by talented marine artists, and in a stunning colour section within the book." - dust jacket. 288 glossy pages. Index of ships. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A high quality copy of this very informative reference.; Dust Jacket; Sm4to.
