Episode 26 - Submarine Gamble: Birth of Canada’s Silent Service
from Rum Ration · host Colin and Rejoy
On the eve of the First World War, British Columbia’s Premier pulled off one of the boldest—and strangest—arms deals in Canadian history. Two submarines vanished from Seattle under cover of darkness and reappeared flying the White Ensign. Rear-Admiral Christopher Robinson, Canada's senior submariner, joins The Rum Ration to reveal how those leaky little boats quietly launched Canada’s submarine service—and a century of undersea ingenuity.📬 Have Questions or Suggestions?
