A certificate of discharge for Clarence Bernard Houghton. It gives the details of his voyage working as third engineer on the SS Lt John Misener (161517) during a Home Trade voyage. He started the voyage in Port Weller on April 25, 1948, and ended it on July 13, 1948, in Matane (PQ?). Houghton's ability and general conduct were rated as "V.G." (Very Good).
"Home Trade" indicates that the ship was sailing in Canadian waters, often on the Great Lakes and/or St. Lawrence Seaway, though in this case, it could have involved sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, as Matane is fairly close to the mouth of the St. Lawrence.Archive Details
