"Until the rise of the modern Canadian Navy and the Coast Guard services, the RCMP provided the primary maritime federal representation on the Canadian coast and inland waters of Canada. Many of these vessels were impressive ocean-going ships that featured modern (for that era) armaments, dedicated RCMP Marine Division crew and a complex mandate to serve the interests of Canada. These vessels served in the high Arctic, on the Great Lakes, on all three oceans and on virtually all the navigable inland waters of Canada. The total number of vessels employed within the RCMP from the establishment of the Force until modern times exceeded two hundred. This work chronicles the complete history of the RCMP Marine services." - dust jacket. 335 glossy pages. List of sources. Profusely illustrated with black and white and colour photos.
