VGNC 1934

S.S. New Northland, a cruise ship based on Montreal, from 1934.

 

VE2GK W.G.Stygall

 

The history of the cruiser appears from a google search, or rather large bits and pieces of it.
It's the Clarke Steamship Company, started in 1921; it was popular in prohibition years because, being a Canadian ship, Americans could have a drink with their meals.

The op. was W.G.Stygall, VE2GK, who shows his photo on the card.

Page 61 of QST for November 1935 has a write-up "Hams Afloat", and tells us -
