    Remembrance Series The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Photographs courtesy of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and the Department of National Defence (DND). © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

Morrill Southwest Harbor Public Library 338 Main Street Post Office Box 157 Southwest Harbor, Maine 04679-0157 207-244-7065 Southwest Harbor Public Library SWHPL Digital Archive Southwest Harbor Public Library Imprint Number Three July 2017 Latest Update: 10/22/17 © Ralph Warren Stanley Dedicated to my grandmother, Celestia Gertrude (Dix) Robinson who instilled in me interest in the lives and accomplishments of my ancestors, relatives and others that I knew, how-be-it, noble, tragic or humorous. My father once told me that a man could never have had a better mother-in law and I can say that a boy could never have had a better grandmother. Introduction Albie Neilson, knowing that I knew a lot about the Stanley family, really inspired me to write this story. Albie was intrigued by the difference in the way of life he experienced growing up as a child at home as opposed to the way of life at Mount Desert Island and Cranberry Island. It was two different cultures coming together and today both are fast disappearing. My father, Chester Stanley, and his uncle, Lewis Stanley, who sailed the boats for the Neilson family and taught them ways of the sea and how to sail, greatly influenced Albie’s life as well as his brothers and no doubt a lot of other summer children around the Rock End Dock. As a child, I was interested in history and genealogy and through the years I had gathered a lot of stories.

  • HMCS Prince Henry (Ex-North Star) Escapes the St Lawrence Before Freeze-Up 1940
    CHAPTER 8 HMCS Prince Henry (ex-North Star) escapes the St Lawrence before freeze-up 1940 CLARKE SHIPS GO TO WAR - AND WAR COMES TO THE ST LAWRENCE On Friday, September 1, 1939, the North Star, was in the middle of her final cruise of the summer, from New York to Montreal, at Bonne Bay, Newfoundland. The New Northland, on her sixth cruise of the season, was in the "Kingdom of the Saguenay." Both are places of great beauty. Passengers looked forward to a calm and peaceful day, but the news from Europe was anything but that. Germany had just invaded Poland. Two days later, on Sunday, September 3, with Germany having ignored a deadline set by the United Kingdom and France to withdraw from Poland, the world would be at war. On the day that war was declared, Donaldson Line's Athenia was a day out from Liverpool, en route from Glasgow to Montreal by way of the Strait of Belle Isle. But she would never reach Canada. Instead, she was torpedoed by the German submarine U-30, whose captain supposedly mistook her for a warship. Some 118 lives were lost in this, the first Allied merchant ship loss of the war. Luckily, conditions allowed 1,300 survivors to be rescued by two cargo ships, one American and one Norwegian, the Swedish yacht Southern Cross and the British destroyers HMS Electra, Escort and Fame. The 5,749- ton Knute Nelson landed 449 survivors at Galway Bay in Ireland, while the Southern Cross rescued 376 and transferred 236 of them to the 4,963-ton City of Flint, which took them on to Halifax.

    THE FINAL MISSION : THE STORY OF THE U-190 In the dying days of the Nazi regime, German U-boats fight to the end. On April 16th, 1945, the U-190 sinks the minesweeper HMCS Esquimalt, the last Canadian warship lost in the Second World War. The survivors endure six hours in the frigid water before being rescued; only twenty-seven of the minesweeper’s seventy-one crewmembers will survive. On May 11, the U-190 receives a transmission from headquarters: each U-boat must surrender to Allied forces. Two Canadian escort vessels are transferred from a convoy with orders to meet and board the U-190. The U-boat is now a prize of war and her crew is made prisoner. During the summer of 1945, the U-190, now property of the Canadian Navy, sets out on an exhibition tour which takes her to the main ports on the St. Lawrence River.

  • 22 Wing Visited by Vips 22 Wing Rolled out the Red Carpet for Two Vips in the Month of October
    1 DECEMBER / DÉCEMBRE 2020 VOL. 54, NO. 12 Recognizing the Contributions of Aerospace Controllers and Aerospace Control Operators Reconnaître les contributions des contrôleurs aérospatiaux et des opérateurs – Contrôle aérospatial Article by: Captain Leah Pierce, Public Affairs 22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay was the fitting location for the unveiling of the new heraldic design that changed Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) qualified Aerospace Controllers (AEC) and Aerospace Control Operators (AC Ops) flight crew specialty badges to an outstretched aircrew flying badge. With plenty of Aerospace Controllers and Operators, 22 Wing is home to the Canadian Air Defence Sector, which conducts the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) mission 24/7, and is housed in the Sergeant (Sgt) David L. Pitcher Building. Referred to as the DLP, the operations building is named after Sgt Pitcher, an Aerospace Control Operator posted to North Bay during his 15-year career in the RCAF, whom perished 25 years ago with 23 other souls (22 United States Air Force and another Royal Canadian Air Force members) on September 22nd, 1995, in an AWACS shortly after takeoff from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, United States, during a NORAD training exercise. On Friday, October 23rd, 2020, during his visit to 22 Wing, Lieutenant-General A.D. Meinzinger, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), along with his command team partner, Chief Warrant Officer J.R.D. Gaudreault, RCAF Chief, bestow the new wing badges to qualified members of the AEC and AC Op trades. “As the RCAF has moved forward, we have come to realize that the extent of duties being performed by these aviators far exceeds those laid out or foreseen almost fifty years ago,” said Lieutenant-General Al Meinzinger, Commander RCAF.
