A navy blue hardcover training manual titled Manual of Seamanship – Volume I (1937). This volume was used by members of the Royal Canadian Navy, containing detailed instructions on naval operations, seamanship techniques, and ship maintenance.
The cover is cloth-bound with gold lettering on the spine, and the interior bears a personal ownership mark: “A. R. SIMMONDS,” stamped in black paint on the inside cover—likely referring to a sailor who served during the Second World War.
