Arctic Workhorse
The RCMP Schooner St. Roch
By James P. Delgado

Dodging between the Arctic floes, almost crushed several times, the little RCMP vessel St. Roch was the first ship to conquer the hazardous Northwest Passage from west to east. Two years later, in 1944, she did it from east to west.
This book is a “biography” of St. Roch, from her construction in Vancouver in 1928, through her working life and famous voyages, to her resting place at the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

James P. Delgado, the author of many marine books, including Great American Ships, is the director of the Vancouver Maritime Museum.
