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
