Active on many fronts during the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Navy played its best-known and arguably most crucial role in helping to keep Allied shipping lanes open in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Canadian merchant ships and merchant sailors transported vital supplies to Allied forces and populations around the world. On Canada's home front, maritime losses – including civilian passengers – were felt deeply across the country, while naval imagery appeared in fundraising and propaganda materials. Canadians built ships, weapons, and equipment, or were encouraged to provide support through their volunteer work and donations. In this webinar, Jeff Noakes provides an overview of Canada’s war at sea and investigates some new areas of research and ways of examining and understanding the war, its events, and its consequences on the waters.
