Frank T. Davies was a Welsh physicist who studied at the University of Saskatchewan and McGill University before joining the Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1928. From this experience, Davies went on to participate in the Canadian Second International Polar Year of 1932-1933 in which Davies, Balfour Currie, Stuart McVeigh, and John Rae lived in Igluligaarjuk, Nunavut (then referred to as Chesterfield Inlet of the Northwest Territories) for a year to study the environment.

Welcome back, my reading friend. And no, you did not have to wait a full week to renew your acquaintanceship with a certain example of a certain type of Soviet airliner. If I may paraphrase the great Sherlock Holmes, the flight is afoot. Let us recapitulate. Invited to take part in a 1958 air show commemorating the centennial of British Columbia, the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) agreed to send a Tupolev Tu-104 jet-powered airliner operated by Aeroflot to Vancouver

Greetings and salutations, my assiduous reading friend. As the northern half of planet Earth slowly emerges from another long winter, and submerges itself into another infernally long and fiery summer, yours truly thought that a look at a long forgotten aspect of the Cold War (Hello, EG and VW!) might be a good topic to add to the ever longer list of topics examined in our mouth watering blog / bulletin / thingee. Indeed, have you ever wondered if, like the famous Captain Jack Sparrow, a

Welcome back, my reading friend, and… I know, I know. I pledged several moons ago to strive toward brevity. It is just that this story of SS Klondike, a cargo-carrying sternwheeler river boat, river cruise ship and national historic site, is really quite interesting. And I see you nodding in agreement. Yes, yes, you did. Do not deny it. In any event, by November 1959, rumours, accurate rumours as it turned out, circulated to the effect that Canada’s Department of Northern Affairs and Natural
Passengers of the Canadian sternwheeler river boat SS Klondike watch as their ship was about to cross a narrow passage of the Yukon River, at the Five Finger Rapids, Yukon Territory. David Willock, “There’s Tourist Gold in the Yukon.” The Ottawa Citizen – Weekend Magazine, 25 June 1955, 18.

Welcome back, my reading friend! As I thought, there is nothing like a cliff hanger to encourage return visits. Shall we continue our examination of the career of the sternwheeler river boat SS Klondike? Good for you. It went without saying that the residents of the terminal of the route plied by SS Klondike, Dawson City, Yukon Territory, whose number had gone from 750 or so to 500 or so when the seat of the government of the Yukon Territory went to White Horse,… Yukon Territory, in April 1953

On December 17, 1972, Canadian scientists on an Arctic expedition made a groundbreaking phone call to Ottawa. The Arctic III expedition, led by Dr. Joe MacInnis, made the call from 12 metres (40 feet) below the Arctic ice in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, (which was, at that time, part of Northwest Territories).

Are you one of those people who dream of cruising a lonely sea, with a star to steer your ship by, my reading friend, if I may ineloquently paraphrase a teeny tiny bit of the superb poem Sea-Fever, published in 1902 in the first volume of poetry put out by famous English poet and writer John Edward Masefield? Yes? Good for you. I am very much a unadventurous landlubber, I am afraid. Still, yours truly would like to launch a nautical topic on this fine day of May. The proven usefulness of taking
