Able Seamen Charles F. McEvoy aboard the HMCS Fredericton

Found in an ancient cigar box - forgotten shards of history captured through the camera of my grandfather. These fragile negatives, weathered by decades of neglect revealed a poignant journey and side of my grandfather I never got the chance to know, from a bygone era.

A newspaper article found alongside the negatives.

My grandfather, the only member hailing from the city that let its name to the very ship he crewed, showing some visiting Wrens “his ship’s” insignia.

A number of these photos were lent to the “For Prosperity’s sake project”
