The duty of HMCS Annapolis was convoy duty and enemy U-boat patrol. We were on the triangle run Halifax, Newfie John, New York, Boston. Between ports we would be taking a convoy three or four hundred miles out in the ocean patrolling for enemy U-Bboats. Other times, we would take a convoy to join other convoys out of Newfie John heading across the North Atlantic. If we did not take a convoy, we would go up the St. Lawrence in search of U-Boats. They were up the St. Lawrence sinking our merchant ships, even in sight of Quebec City. Canadian people did not hear about bodies being washed ashore along the river bank. That was supposed to be hushed up. The Canadian ferry "Caribou" loaded with a full load of passengers was sunk between North Sydney and Port Aux Basques by an enemy U-Boat. There was no sign of the ferry after the torpedo struck, and very few survivors.
