Prairie power was at sea during the Second World War.
Many sailors both men and women from the prairies enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy. Perhaps motivated by being familiar of the flat landscape and open spaces to experience something just as familiar but in a different environment. Ships bearing names of Lethbridge, Calgary, Blairmore, Edmonton and Regina are just a few.
