This was HMS Britannia entering Devonport, Devon in the 1840s. John Blake was a Clerk on this ship.
In Canada we could build a lot more ships; we have huge oceans all around us – Atlantic, Pacific and the Arctic. Long before President Trump wanted us to spend 2% I wanted us to spend 4 or 5% of our GDP on the military years ago! Fundamentally, we can not do without an effective military. We live along a river that floods most springs although at 10 metres above the water we are not likely to be swamped but others are swamped. We just need the military (army, navy, and airforce) for so many domestic hurdles. The Arctic is huge and we should have bases up there.
