This page has been added to provide a look back at the Royal Canadian Navy through pictures taken and sent to me by former members or their families as well as ones I have asked permission to use from other sites.
Thomas Spowart has allowed publication of these great shots depicting our first glimpse of what was to become a daily routine and life long memory for us all.
