    70th Anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic Learning Resources Activity 2 - Remembering Canadian Merchant Seamen Lost at Sea Aim To help students remember the contributions and sacrifices of Canadian Merchant Navy mariners who participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, by doing research on Merchant Navy ships lost at sea. Objectives Youth will be expected to: ▪ learn about Merchant Navy ships lost at sea during the Second World War; ▪ conduct research using two Veterans Affairs Canada databases; ▪ create a remembrance profile on Canadian Merchant Navy mariners who died at sea. Target Audience ▪ This activity is suitable for students in grades 7 to 12 (12 to 18 years of age). Sequence of Events and Anticipated Time Frame [75 minutes] (This activity can be modified to fit available class time.) ▪ Introductory [5 minutes] ▪ Research [60 minutes] ▪ Closing [10 minutes] Class Materials ▪ Excerpt from the Fourth Dimension - May 8, 1942, article, (Maple Leaf magazine, 2 May 2007 edition) ▪ Selected list of 23 Merchant Navy ships lost at sea during the Second World War ▪ Online Canadian Merchant Navy War Dead Registry database ▪ Online Canadian Virtual War Memorial database ▪ Interviews with Canadian Merchant Navy Seamen Introductory [5 minutes] Distribute the article Fourth Dimension - May 8, 1942, about the sinking of two merchant ships off the Gaspé coast. Once the students have read it, discuss the dangers faced by crew members while sailing the Atlantic Ocean during the Second World War. Discuss the possible impact of such an event on the local population. You can also talk about the fact that crews on these two ships were ‘lucky’ in their misfortune; their ship having been torpedoed close to the coast, rescuers were able to reach to them.

    In Peril on the Sea – Episode Seventeen Chapter 5Part 2 “IF WE LOSE THE WAR AT SEA, WE LOSE THEWAR”: THE ORDEAL, MAY - NOVEMBER 1942 (cont’d) Continued from Chapter Five Part 1 …….. The loss of 11 merchantmen in return for two U‑boats was regarded by some Allied commentators as an acceptable rate of exchange -although the enemy’s use of submerged attacks, in contrast to the previous favoured tactic of surface attacks, did not bode well. Dönitz, on the other hand, noting that many of the submarine commanders involved were relatively inexperienced, was satisfied with the results. Problems increase: The RCN in the autumn of 1942 By the early autumn of 1942, the RCN had some reason to be happy with its recent successes. It had sunk three U-boats in the North Atlantic in August, more than the RN during the same -period, and HMCS Oakville got a fourth in the West Indies following a boarding operation that more closely resembled the age of sail than the age of steam.* But knowledgeable observers pointed out problems with the Canadian escorts’ training, maintenance, efficiency and, above all, their lack of modern equipment. Unfortunately, due to the many and overlapping commands concerned with the Atlantic convoys, its own distance from the theatre of war, and the absence of good technical liaison with the USN and RN, NSHQ in Ottawa did not have a clear picture of the difficulties faced by the escort fleet. When a problem was brought to their attention, they acted upon it, usually slowly, but all too often they remained oblivious to the day-to-day problems at sea.

Abstract This dissertation is the first full-length study to explore how the Canadian government and military disposed of surplus munitions and supplies after the Second World War. By investigating how the state planned and implemented its disposal program from 1943 to 1948, this thesis places objects at the centre of attention and demonstrates their profound political, social, and economic significance. By examining the extended social lives of munitions and supplies in relationship to their postwar impact on civilian life, this study offers a new and innovative perspective that links material culture with postwar reconstruction, rehabilitation, and demobilization.
