Marine

On the marine side, extensive work was done by the department during this period to increase the number of navigational aids in all waterways and to develop improved technology for all types of aids.

The C.D. Howe, a ship that was to become a household word in the Canadian North, was commissioned in 1950 to carry out supply work in the eastern Arctic. Also slated for a place in history was the newly commissioned d'Iberville, which represented Canada at the Coronation Review for Queen Elizabeth at Spithead in 1952.
