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 Matane (PQ?) on July 13,, 1948, and ended it on December 2, 1948. The place of discharge is difficult to read 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
