The seabound coast / William Johnston, William G.P. Rawling, Richard H. Gimblett, John MacFarlane.: D2-132/1-2010E-PDF

"From its creation in 1910, the Royal Canadian Navy was marked by political debate over the country's need for a naval service. The Seabound Coast, Volume I of a three-volume official history of the RCN, traces the story of the navy's first three decades, from its beginnings as Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier's "tinpot" navy of two obsolescent British cruisers to the force of six modern destroyers and four minesweepers with which it began the Second World War"--Dust Jacket.
