good fellowship among former and
serving members of the Canadian
Navy and Merchant Navy as well as
other navies and seagoing people of
the world. In general to enjoy the
camaraderie of all Shipmates who
have salt water in their veins.

3. Loyal to the reigning Sovereign and
Canada.
4. Give friendship and mutual
assistance to its members.

offering a nautical atmosphere and
good fellowship to Shipmates of the
Royal Canadian Navy and the unsung
heroes of the red duster, the Merchant
Navy.
