Thousands of Canadian civilians served during the Battle of the Atlantic. Facing enemy U-boats, freezing conditions, and unforgiving seas, they provided a key lifeline for the Allied war effort.

On Merchant Navy Veterans Day, we remember the more than 1,600 civilian mariners who died while maintaining these crucial supply lines.
