Biographical history
The HMCS Prince Rupert was named after the city of Prince Rupert. A river-class frigate, she was built at the Yarrow Shipyard in Esquimalt between August 1, 1942 and February 3, 1943. In September 1943 she visited Prince Rupert before heading down to the Panama Canal and up to the East Coast of Canada to ply the waters between Canada and Europe during the Second World War. Under the command of Lt.-Cmdr. Robert W. Draney, the HMCS Prince Rupert sank the German submarine U-575 in March 1944. After the war, she was reduced to a partial superstructure; her hull, armaments, fittings, and machinery were removed and she was purchased by Crown Zellerbach in 1947 for service in its booming ground breakwater at Royston, BC.
Custodial history
The records were donated to archives in October 1987 by Jack Mussallem on behalf of the City of Prince Rupert.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of records from the HMCS Prince Rupert. It includes a Master-At-Arms rough report book from 1944- 1945, a copy of "The Communication Weekly" from April 26, 1945, a booklet for the HMCS Prince Rupert reunion in 1985, a 22 lb. brass plaque of the ship's crest, and the HMCS Prince Rupert's red ensign and white ensign.
