With an emphasis on the Pacific Northwest Coast during the two world wars, you will be met with remarkable stories of determined Canadian men and women on the home front who toiled in shipyards building vessels for the Merchant Navy, and those who sailed these ships through perilous waters at great personal sacrifice delivering vital supplies to war fronts around the world.
