MacDonald 1914 - Hudson Bay survey George MacDonaldGeorge joined the CHS on May 23, 1966 immediately after graduating from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology with a diploma in land Surveying Technology. He started his career as a junior field hydrographer and like many of his peers he was employed primarily as a Sextant operator. His knowledge, abilities and excellent work ethic were recognized at an early stage of his career and in 1970 he was Senior Assistant on a Central Region survey. By 1972 he was Hydrographer in Charge and he remained in an HIC position until 1979 when he assumed the duties of Central Region Hydrographic Development Officer. Early in his career, George developed a keen interest in new technology and his duties as Development Officer was a natural fit. He contributed in a large way to the automation and implementation of new technology to the CHS. He was recognized, not only in the CHS, but also within the International Hydrographic community as a leader in developing automated survey and data processing techniques. He presented many papers at Hydrographic and Survey related conferences in many parts of the world. During his 30 years with the CHS he contributed in a wide variety of activities and to the collection of hydrography at many areas of Central Canada and the Arctic. In addition to his many contributions in the fields of technology, he also contributed to the national and international hydrographic community in other ways. He taught hydrographers in India, he conducted surveys in Senegal, Africa. He was President of the Canadian Hydrographic Association in 1973 and 1978 to 1980, and was Editor of Lighthouse for editions 37 through 40. George assumed the duties of Assistant Regional Director of Central Region in 1989 and remained in that position until 1995 when he accepted a special assignment for the last year of his career with the CHS. He retired from CHS on December 2, 1996. Source: Lighthouse, No. 54, Fall 1996, p. 45.

Stephen B. MacPhee Steve MacPhee was born in 1939 at French Road, Cape Breton, where his father was a carpenter and farmer. He was educated at Sydney Academy, St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish and Nova Scotia Technical College. After obtaining a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering in 1960, Steve was employed by E.M.I. Cossor Electronics on the design and evaluation of underwater acoustics instrumentation for military applications. During this period, he spent a considerable amount of time on Canadian and American naval ships in various areas of operation. After a period with Sperry Rand Canada Ltd. from 1964 to 1967, engaged in the design and operational aspects of naval sonar, radar, communications and fire control systems, he joined the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in 1967. While there, he was involved in the design and testing of hydrographic and oceanographic sensors and data acquisition and processing systems. He was also engaged in the development and evaluation of echo sounder digitizers, correlation systems for signal enhancement, and narrow beam echo sounders. In 1975, he joined the Canadian Hydrographic Service in Ottawa as Manager, Planning and Development. In this capacity, he was responsible for cartographic and hydrographic training and standards, hydrographic planning, nautical geodesy and geoscience mapping and GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans). Steve MacPhee was appointed Dominion Hydrographer early in the summer of 1979. Steve MacPhee was appointed, for his second tenure, to the position of Dominion Hydrographer as of January 3, 1995. He had spent the previous seven years at Bedford Institute where he had been the Regional Director, Science for the Scotia-Fundy Region of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He retired from the Public Service in December 1997. He met Judy Cole, a Halifax schoolteacher, at a Boat Club dance and they were married in 1966. They have five children: Timothy (b.1968), Michael (b.1969), Erika (b.1972), Elizabeth (b.1979) and Rebecca (b.1981), and lived east of Kemptville.

He served on Canadian Merchant Ships before joining the Canadian Hydrographic Service in 1960. He successfully completed the Hydrography I and II courses and received a Commission as A Canada Lands Surveyor in 1981. In 1983 he transferred to Ship Division and served as Regional Marine Superintendent Central and Arctic Region in Burlington until retirement in 1995. Assignments with the Canadian Hydrographic Service Central Region included: 1960 - 64 Assistant Hydrographer on surveys in Hudson Bay, Baffin Island,
Labrador, Newfoundland, MacKenzie River, C.S.S. ACADIA, Charter Vessels Miss Helen Martell 1964 joined CHS, Compilation Section Colin H. Martin 1912 - 1999 Colin H. Martin, assistant dominion hydrographer, retired on December 27, 1973, from the Canadian Hydrographic Service at the age of 61. He was born at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in 1912. Shortly after, his parents moved to Stony Mountain, Manitoba, where he received his primary school education. His ancestors on his father's side were among the early settlers of Nova Scotia having come to Annapolis Royal from France in the year 1638. His mother's parents came from Iceland to Selkirk in the late 1800s. Colin graduated from the University of Manitoba in civil engineering in 1934. During his summer semesters commencing in 1930, he worked on a geological survey, carried out work with a provincial land surveyor at Selkirk, drew the initial copyright plans for the Selkirk chimney, became assistant engineer with Anthes Foundry at Winnipeg, then was assayer at Berens River Mines and from there became engineer for three Newmont Corporation mines in the Geraldton, Ontario, area. He resigned from this position in July 1938 and joined the Canadian Hydrographic Service at Ottawa where he has been continually employed until his retirement. His hydrographic field assignments have been in many areas of Canada including Great Slave Lake, the Mackenzie River, Lake Winnipeg, the Great Lakes, the Ottawa River and a variety of locations along Canada's eastern seaboard including lake Melville and Battle Harbour in Labrador and the coastal waters of Newfoundland. In 1944, he conducted the initial bathymetric, temperature and water current investigation, on a high priority and secret basis, that culminated in the building of the atomic plant Chalk River. He charted many strategic areas on Canada's eastern seaboard, and the important junction and dangerous area of Hardisty Island on Great Slave Lake known then as the graveyard for Great Slave Lake shipping. From 1950 until 1955, he was officer-in-charge of three east coast ships, but primarily the famous CSS Acadia, now decommissioned and part of the Museum of the Atlantic, in Halifax. In 1956, he was promoted to superintendent of charts and additionally was designated as assistant dominion hydrographer in 1960. From 1956 to 1968, he directed the expansion of Canada's chart coverage from 600 to 1000 charts and has overseen the increase in annual distribution services of some 100,000 charts to the present [1974] 500,000. He also established a distribution agency system, national and international, of 300 dealers including an annual inspection system. He successfully defended the Canadian Hydrographic Service charts and surveys in Canada's most major marine litigation in history, involving two days of grueling cross examination by Canada's leading marine lawyers. The case involved a ship collision between the German freighter Transatlantic and the Dutch freighter Hermes in April 1965 in Lake St. Peter area of the St. Lawrence River. The damages involved are between five and thirteen million dollars. The case went to the Supreme Court of Canada. He has played a leading role in international aspect of hydrography, in modernizing Canada's navigational charts, and developing small craft, fishery, bathymetric, metric and other charts. He also laid the foundation for the present cartographic development program. He has always been active in athletics, and in fact was one of Ottawa most outstanding curlers in the 1960s, a sport he started playing at the age of 12. Colin H. Martin died August 20, 1999 in Ottawa, predeceased by his wife, Dorothy, and survived by his daughter Jo-Ann Mitchell of Chester, N.S., and grandchildren, and his sister, Eileen, who also worked for CHS for many years.

Joe died at age 57, at McMaster Hospital, Hamilton, Ontario, September 11, 1996. Many hydrographers, especially of the boom time 1960 to 1970 era, will remember Joe for his aggressive personality, dynamic drive and colourful social agenda both off and on the playing surface of many surveys. Joe served on surveys on the Lower St. Lawrence River with Adam Kerr or Bruce Wright (Tadoussac, Riviθre-du-Loup, St. Jean Port Joli), on the Georgian Bay survey of 1966 with Earl Brown, on the Lake of the Woods survey 1967, and on several Arctic surveys including James Bay, Hudson Bay and Chesterfield Inlet. He was also on a noteworthy CSS Hudson Greenland oceanographic program, and on the CSS Baffin Caribbean training cruise of 1967. Joe remained with the CHS hydrographic until the latter part of the seventies, when he married and broke ranks to become a very successful operator/owner of three Dairy Queen stores.

He was born in Greenock, Scotland and obtained his elementary and high school education in Greenock. He served in the Merchant Navy from 1941 to 1945 during World War II, serving in the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. He remained with the Merchant Navy on the conclusion of hostilities, and served as navigating and chief officer on merchant ships until 1952. He joined the Canadian Hydrographic Service in 1953 as a hydrographer in Victoria, B.C. From then until 1967, he was a hydrographer and ships master on the Pacific coast and Western Arctic. During this period, he became hydrographer-in-charge, running survey parties in B.C. and Western Arctic waters, including work on the USCA Storis in support of the resupply of the Western DEW Line stations. From 1960 to 1965, he became increasingly responsible for all hydrographic surveys in the Western Arctic, but at the same time managed to obtain first-class diploma in administrative management from the University of British Columbia. He attended the senior survey officers course in Ottawa during the winter of 1964-65. During his years at Victoria, he initiated the formation of a Hydrographic Development Section in the Pacific Region. In 1967, he developed a brief on the education and training of hydrographers, which became an essential part of the framework of the CHS policy. He served as acting regional hydrographer during the absences of Mr. Young on matters of national importance and took over the duties of regional hydrographer of the Central Region in Ottawa in 1968, moving to Burlington when the region was relocated there in 1970.

Russ joined the CHS in April 1948 taking part in surveys of the Atlantic Provinces, Sub-Arctic, High Arctic, and the west coast for 16 consecutive seasons. Many of the establishments with which he served are long gone - either retired, sold or sunk. Some of these were CSS Kapuskasing, Acadia, Henry Hudson, Cartier, M.V. Terra Nova and Theron. His first assignment as HIC was on the CHL Anderson in 1953. Following this assignment, he was given charge of the Cartier, M.V. Arctic Sealer, CSS Baffin and William J. Stewart. In 1963, Russ transferred from Ottawa to the Atlantic Region. He was appointed Regional Hydrographer, Atlantic Region in 1964. He held this position until his retirement. Source: Lighthouse, Apr. 1979, p. 21. Russel Cameron Melanson, 79, Broad Cove, passed away peacefully July, 4 2002, in South Shore Regional Hospital. Born in Mill Village, he was retired from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, where he was Atlantic Regional Hydrographer for the Canadian Hydrographic Service. He served in the Second World War as a member of the First Canadian Parachute Battalion, and was a past vice president of the First Canadian Parachute Battalion Association. Russel was a son of the late Alexander and Cassie (Boland) Melanson. He is survived by daughter, Laurie (David ) Ewer, Sackville; sons, Russel Jr. (Sandra), Charlottetown, PEI; Garron (Gay), Bible Hill; Ronald (Tina Newcombe), Upper Tantallon; brothers, Rod (Estelle), Mill Village; Rex (Muriel), Bridgewater; Royce (Shirley), Liverpool; seven grandchildren. Russel was predeceased by his wife, Shirley (Hall), to whom he was happily married for 53 years; infant son, Stanley Alexander; sisters, Sandra, Muriel, Madge, Merlene; brother, Robert. Source: Halifax Herald, July 8, 2002 Upon retirement, Rus and Shirley moved to Broad Cove, where they could enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the Atlantic and the adjacent landscape. Ironically, their home overlooked a large rock formation where the Baffin had run aground year earlier. After years of spending more time away than at home, Rus was quite content to spend his time in and around Broad Cove. And probably his favorite pass time was travelling over the back roads of his youth along the Medway river, reminiscing about a time which many of us were never privileged to experience.

J.N. Mercure 1904 - came from Public Works upon amalgamation. 1947 - appointed as Student Assistant Capt. Irving Brock Miles, (Lieutenant, R.N.) 1869 - 1917
born 17 Oct 1869 Commander I.B. Miles retired from the Royal Navy and joined the Canadian Hydrographic Service about 1906, to conduct surveys in the Lower St. Lawrence. In 1910 he was temporarily released from there to take the first survey parties north with the icebreaker Stanley to Churchill and Port Nelson. He was one of a group in the British Navy known as the Hungry Hundred. In a brief description of that Hudson Bay voyage, it is written: A former group of navy navigators, half a century ago, had been lightly dubbed by the seagoing fraternity as the Hungry Hundred. In 1895, at a time of international crises, arms race, the Spanish-American and Russo-Japanese wars, the British Navy was rapidly expanding. The strength in ships and men doubled in a ten-year period. As naval schools were not turning out officers equal to the demand, the Admiralty provided for the entrance into commissioned ranks of one hundred young qualified Mercantile Marine navigators. Three years later they welcomed fifty more. Commander Miles retired from the navy about 1906, to join the Canadian Hydrographic branch for six years and then returned to England. For the record, it might be noted that Admiralty Orders in Council No. 19, dated 9th August 1898, SUPPLEMENTARY LIST ADDITION OF FIFTY OFFICERS TO . containing the following: Whereas Your Majesty was graciously pleased by Your Order in Council of the 29th June 1895, to sanction the entry of One Hundred Officers of the Mercantile Marine as Sub-Lieutenants and Lieutenants, on a Supplementary List of the Royal Navym to meet the requirements of Your Majestys Fleet it has again become necessary to obtain additional Officers who have some experience, and are capable of at once learning the work of Executive Officers, etc, etc. Requirements, qualifications, remuneration, etc, were generally, as Sub-Lieutenants, of or over 22, and under 25 years of age as Lieutenants, of or over 25, and under 35 years of age Candidates who have not served in the Royal Naval Reserve will be required to produce a Board of Trade Certificate for Master serve a year on probation, service in the Navy as Royal Naval Reserve Officer counting as such Sub-Lieutenants to be eligible for promotion after two years service. Rates of Pay, Hal-Pay, Retired Pay, as in Tables. Pensions for Hurts and Wounds, Widows Pensions, Compassionate Allowance to Children, to be at the same rate and nd under the same conditions as those granted to Officers of the Royal Navy or corresponding rank." Full Equipment Grant of 30 Pounds to Sub-Lieutenants and 40 Pounds to Lieutenants. (This recalls the acceptance of Canadian Hydrographic surveyors into the war-time RNVR by the Admiralty, for hydrographic duties. Pay and allowances were as for Royal Navy officers, plus the regular hydrographic pay according to grade and classification. Some were taken on the strength of a ship as Navigation Officer. Had they had a Canadian masters or mates ticket they could have been paid additional Navigating Officers pay.) [R.J. Fraser ought to know; he was one who went this route.] In the time of Mr. W.J. Stewart and Captain Fred Anderson, we assistants were always signed on the Ships Articles along with the crew, in order to accumulate sea-going time, in case anyone later wished to go up for a certificate by examination.
