This is the short and simple saga of 16 vessels of Paterson Steamships, Limited, that played an unsung but paramount role during the most critical period of the war, their mission-and their losses- necessarily shrouded in secrecy until Victory was assured. shallow waters the vessels were able to navigate in comparative safety from U-boats while larger, deeper draft ships, unable to use these five-fathom waters, suffered grievous casualties outside. The Paterson vessels also were able to navigate the twisting Demerara River in British Guiana for 60 miles inland to the bauxite mines and return fully loaded with 3,100 gross-tons. Larger ships experienced extreme difficulty reaching the mines and seldom To feed the mighty war industries coming into production, bauxite, the vital raw ore base of aluminum, was needed in gigantic quantities from South American mines; and from Greenland, the essential fluxing agent, cryolite. The cry was for ships, ships, ships! carried bigger cargoes than the canalers. A similar condition obtained at Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, where the little ships penetrated 120 miles inland up the Surinam River to Moengo. Bauxite also was loaded from Everton, British Guiana, on the Called into the service of the nation by the Minister of Munitions and Supply was the bulk of the canal fleet of the Paterson Line to help transport this ore, Canadian crews on Canadian ships, whose peacetime pursuit was the transfer of multifarious cargoes along the fresh water highways of the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes. The first ships left Canada in June, 1941, and the last in December, 1941, but before all were in the bauxite service by March, 1942, they had delivered essential supplies to Greenland and other northern bases, to Halifax, New York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Jacksonville, Havana, Haiti, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Port of Spain. Berbice River where larger ships could not navigate at all. Bitter, relentless war came to the Caribbean as the enemy sought to destroy the cargoes and halt the flow of bauxite. Throughout late 1941 and all of 1942, the West Indies waters were infested by undersea marauders determined at all costs to impede the gathering avalanche of war material destined to shatter his power on far-off D-Day. If they had some safety in coastal waters, the little Paterson Canalers were at the mercy of the U-boat killers in the open sea Fifty thousand tons of needed supplies were transported to the West Indies and elsewhere; flour, canned goods, clothing, dry stores, �run' to the West Indies. For muny months protective convoys were wholly unknown in this operation, and at no time did armed escort strength compare with that in the North Atlantic. The little ships, slow and unarmed, carried on in the open ocean and three-knot Gulf Stream against gun and torpedo, against every devilish device in 20-knot submarines to locate, overtake and destroy, in unequal struggle. The climate, the tropical diseases, the lack of proper food and medical attention in those strange waters, inevitably took toll of Canadian fresh struggle at sea. water sailors after months of nerve-wracking But their thinning ranks were filled by native seamen of the British West Indies who worked and fought and died side by side with their Canadian comrades in common cause and sacrifice. Grievous was the price paid. The Sarniadoc and Torondoc were lost with all hands. Only five of the crew survived the sinking of the Prescodoc. The Troisdoc was sunk by shellfire from a sub without loss of life, while the Mondoc and Hamildoc were indirect casualties in dangerous waters- six gallant ships and 58 men. By early 1943, relief came to the hard-pressed little fleet from the ever-growing armadas of the Allies. ships took over. New and better-equipped Four vessels, Cartierdoc, Kingdoc, Lawrendoc and Newbrundoc, were permitted to return to Canada, refit and re-enter inland service, while six others, Ganandoc, Soreldoc, Lachindoc, Farrandoc, Coteaudoc and Wellandoc later proceeded overseas to perform great service in D-Day operations. There the Soreldoc was lost. A warm welcome awaits the remaining five ships when they return from post-war duty to their home waters- and to the transport tasks of peacetime. ��• • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
