Yesterday we said farewell to the CCGS Hudson.

Nearly 60 years of incredible stories.

Essential research.

Groundbreaking science.

As we decommissioned this special vessel, I was blown away by the incredible stories former crew mates, including many scientists, had to share.

The Hudson was the first vessel in Canada committed to science and research at sea. Canadians have been well-served by the Hudson, and the incredible work its crew have performed for decades.

The future of the Canadian Coast Guard and Canada’s ocean science and technology community is so bright, and it’s built on the legacy of trailblazing personnel and vessels like CCGS Hudson.
