The untold history of of the maritime branches of two giants of early-twentieth-century Canadian railroads. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway, two giants of Canadian rail transportation, each operated maritime shipping ventures during the early twentieth century. Numerous vessels, including sidewheel, paddlewheel, and propeller steamers, tugboats, and barges, helped to build and serve these railways. Passenger and merchant ships sailed the West Coast, the Great Lakes, and St. Lawrence River, and served Canadian and European ports, in a time when groundings, shipwrecks, and sinkings often claimed lives. These same steamship lines played an important role in World War I, when Canadian vessels ferried men and war supplies. Many troopships and freighters were torpedoed, and Canadian Northern's entire transatlantic fleet was virtually obliterated. Illustrated with contemporary photographs and drawings, this book pays tribute to the maritime enterprises of two trailblazing Canadian railway greats., The untold history of the maritime branches of two giants of early-twentieth-century Canadian railroads.

", The untold history of two giants of early-twentieth-century Canadian railroading. A chronicle of the all-too-brief shipping ventures of two of Canada’s great transcontinental railways of the early twentieth century: The Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern Railways. A variety of vessels helped to build and serve these two railways, including sidewheel, sternwheel, and propeller steamers, tugboats and barges. Rail ferries and car floats towed by tugboats were used to transfer railway cars between isolated points on the mainland of B.C. and Vancouver Island. Passenger and merchant ships served B.C., Alaska, Washington State, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, and Canadian Maritime and European ports. These vessels were operating before navigational aids, in a time of frequent groundings, shipwrecks, and sinkings that often claimed lives. These same steamship lines played an important role in World War I, when many Canadian vessels were provided to the British Admiralty to ferry men and war supplies. Numerous troopships and freighters were torpedoed, and Canadian Northern’s entire transatlantic fleet was virtually obliterated. Illustrated with contemporary photographs and drawings, this book pays tribute to these two Canadian railway greats, which blazed the trail for today’s largest Canadian railway, the Canadian National Railway.
