Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which saw German U-boats penetrate the Cabot Strait and the Strait of Belle Isle to sink 23 ships between 1942 and 1944, marked the only time since the War of 1812 that enemy warships inflicted death within Canada's inland waters. The battle advanced to within 300 kilometres of Québec City. The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence was part of a larger conflict called the Battle of the Atlantic which included all of the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe, and was fought between 1939 and 1945. The U-boats' disruption of river traffic was serious, because of the great volume of shipping passed through ports on the St. Lawrence. In 1939 Montreal exported more tons of shipping than all other Canadian east coast ports combined. Any activity that hampered St. Lawrence River shipping, with its excellent access to Canada's industrial heartland, was a serious threat. Between 1942 and 1944, German U-boats posed this very threat. The moderate but continual toll they exacted on shipping and lives was itself of great concern. Those who fought this battle and those who gave their lives in the Gulf of St. Lawrence were engaged in a struggle that would have wide implications."--From veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/second-world-war/battle-gulf-st-lawrence/ website Other authors:  Canada.
