HMCS Waskesiu linked Atlantic, Arctic, and Normandy service

HMCS Waskesiu remained Canadian throughout her service and was built by Yarrows at Esquimalt. Her work repeatedly linked Canada and Britain with the northern routes toward Russia. She earned battle honours for the Atlantic, Arctic, and Normandy. Those honours compress several different escort environments into one ship's record. The example demonstrates how Canadian-built Rivers became integral to the wider Allied maritime war.
