February 05, 1946
TAR PAPER, A Canadian military "camp" newspaper printed on-board the HMCS Uganda. As noted in the link, on February 5 1946, the Uganda sailed from Esquimalt for a South American cruise. During that deployment she "rounded the Horn" west to east "under sail" and became the first ship of the Royal Canadian Navy to do so. She returned to Esquimalt transiting from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Panama Canal, arriving at Esquimalt on May, 17 1946, the date of this issue.
The full front page is a crude map of the Western hemisphere charting the cruise.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 13 inches, once stapled but now individual sheets, very nice condition.
