The portrait of the massive ship sits at the centre of the polished field, framed by a porthole window complete with engraved hinge, rivets, and two locks. Beyond this window the bow of the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, as well as its starboard side, are visible in three-quarter profile, approaching the viewer. The vessel's bridge, hull, cabin, and upper decks are drawn and engraved in minute detail. The massive bow, propelled by engines of massive power, cuts the field of ice between the vessel and the porthole into jagged chunks that line the hull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis image of the CCGS Louis S.

Exceptional engraving realistically renders the choppy waters of Halifax Harbour, creating a powerful sense of forward movement. On the polished silver field above and to the right of the ship, a selectively gold-plated cameo presents the original figurehead from the HMS Shannon's bow.

Smith, the 270-metre vessel was longer than four city blocks, more than 53 metres tall, weighed more than 45,000 tons, and comprised ten decks and numerous compartments divided into fifteen bulkheads.

These stories and the heroes that arose from them exemplified the extraordinary characteristics required to defend British North America, and have become important symbols and enduring narratives in the history and evolution of today’s Canada.\u003cbr\u003eLeadership and Victory in Lower Canada: Charles-Michel de Salaberry (1778 - 1829)\u003cbr\u003eCharles-Michel d’Irumberry de Salaberry was born in Beauport, Lower Canada. He was the eldest of four brothers. For generations, his family had been officers of the royal army in what was, by de Salaberry’s time, Lower Canada and his family had built close ties to Britain’s royal family. England’s Prince Edward Augustus played an important role in assisting de Salaberry’s career at several key moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Salaberry himself enlisted in the 44th Foot Regiment in 1792, when he was 14 years old. From that time until 1810, he served primarily overseas in the Caribbean, Ireland, and the Netherlands. He returned to Lower Canada in 1810 and was made a brevet-major.\u003cbr\u003eAt this time, aware—as were most military forces in the region—that war between the United States and Britain was close at hand, he sought authorization to form a militia to help defend Lower Canada. His recruiting was fast and successful.\u003cbr\u003eHis group of Colonial regulars, the Voltigeurs Canadiens, was a light infantry unit that would become one of the most successful and well-known units to fight in the War of 1812. In September of 1812, de Salaberry and his Voltigeurs began managing border defense for Lower Canada.\u003cbr\u003eIn late summer of 1812, American military command had contrived a campaign to capture the city of Montreal. Two American forces would make their way northward, meeting in the Montreal region for a final assault. Major-General James Wilkinson and his 8,000 troops would travel east down the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario to rendezvous with Major-General Wade Hampton’s 4,000 troops, who were travelling northwest from Lake Champlain in New York state.\u003cbr\u003eHampton arrived at the Châteauguay River around October 21, 1813, and crossed the frontier with nearly 4,000 men. By this time, though, de Salaberry was already aware, thanks to his extensive network of informants in the farming and Native communities, of Hampton’s approach. With a clear and firm strategy, de Salaberry organized significant defences. As a result, the battle was quickly and decisively won by his Voltigeurs, forcing the American troops to retreat, despite the fact that they outnumbered the Voltigeurs and their Aboriginal allies by more than two to one.\u003cbr\u003eThis battle was the first of several that prevented American plans to take Montreal. On 11 November 1813, de Salaberry’s Voltigeurs again helped fend off the Americans at the Battle of Crysler’s Farm. In March of the following spring, they again repulsed American forces—despite the Americans’ greater numbers—at nearby Lacolle Mills, a site de Salaberry and the Voltigeurs had already successfully defended in November 1812.De Salaberry himself enlisted in the 44th Foot Regiment in 1792, when he was 14 years old.
