"Describes the technical factors involved in the design of these ships, their construction and operation. Explains how this potential merchant fleet was dispersed at the end of WWII, so that Canada's merchant marine all but vanished after 1950. Discusses the rationale involved in this disposal and provides an insightful look at the complex subjects of marine underwriting and chartering. Recalls wrecks, war losses, globe-girdling voyages and a variety of personal experiences by individuals who served aboard. Includes a complete Fleet List with concise details of builders, name changes, ownership changes and their fates. Large folded plan inside back board is taken from the original plan of the North Sands ship brought from England in 1940, from which the entire Canadian program for these 10,000 ton ships originated." - from dust jacket.
