Built by Burrard Dry Dock Co.
Ltd., Vancouver, a modified Fort type cargo ship, HMS BEACHY HEAD
was launched at Vancouver in 1944. After the war, she was turned over
to the Royal Netherlands Navy in 1947 as repair ship VULKAAN. In
1949 she was returned to the RN and resumed her original name until
1952, when she was transferred to the RCN. She lay alongside Halifax
for some years, providing supplementary workshop and classroom
facilities until CAPE BRETON was transferred to the west coast in
1958. After refit at Saint John, CAPE SCOTT was at last commissioned
on 28 Jan 1959, to serve at Halifax. In February 1965, CAPE SCOTT
transited the Panama Canal from Peru and Easter Island enroute to
Halifax. Paid off into reserve
on 01 Jul 1970, she was re-designated Fleet Maintenance
Group (Atlantic) in 1972, but was sold when the group moved ashore in 1975
and left under tow in 1978 to be broken up in Texas.

HMCS
CAPE SCOTT was sailing home from a medical expedition to Easter
Island and the Galapagos on 15 February 1965, the day Canada adopted
it new flag. The ship held a ceremony to haul down the white ensign
and hoist the new flag. There were two new flags hand stitched
onboard based on verbal descriptions received by radio (the ship had
been gone since 16 November 1964). The captain then was Commander
Tony Law.
Dr
Jacalyn Duffin, Professor Emerita and Hannah Chair of the History of
Medicine, Queen's University, and author of "Stanley’s Dream:
The Canadian Medical Expedition to Easter Island," is trying to
trace the CAPE SCOTT'S flags, without success. She knows one was
mailed to Prime Minister Pearson, but checks of the War Museum and
the Museum of History were fruitless (the letter to PM Pearson but
no flag is in the National Archives).
Can
anyone please provide a lead to assist with the search?
If
you can provide any information on the whereabouts of these two
flags, please send an email to RUNSI
(Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia)
