Published by The Aretie Cirele ottawa, Ontario !Iydrographie survey operations of the "Algerine" in 19~0. By D.A.H. Charles ln 1950 the M.V. Algerine was ehartered by the Hydrographie Survey from Bowring Bros. for hydrographie work at Port Burwell and Frobisher B~~r. The master of the vessel was Capta in Vi. H&neoek and Mr. SnoVJVias ehief engineer. The offieer-in-eharge of the survey was D.A.H. Charles and he was assisted by R.L. Carriere, T.A. Irvine, J.D. Graham, F.G. Lyneh, and J.Y. Robiehaud. The vessel arrived at Pictou, N.S. on June 14 where the survey party assembled and stores were . ohecked. The two new survey launches, Shag and Jaeger, were given short tests prior to loading, and on June 23 the.Algerine made ready for sea and sailed. The first ice was encountered on June 26, the day folloiiliingpassage of the Strai t of Belle Isle. The first survey objective was Port Burwell, and a direot course parallel to the Labrador coast had been laid for Cape Chidley. As the iee pans beeame more closely paeked, course was altered to the eastward to work around the heaviest ice. The Algerine quickly proved her fitness for ice navigation and six knots were made good through heavy broken pans. Despite the iee, fog, and indirect route, the latitude of Chidley was reached on the afternoon of June 27, and course altered due'west te the cape, 100 miles away. This involved working through the heaviest ice yet encountered, and passage was made more difficult as we entered Gray Strait against the heavy tide set the evening of June 28. Continuous soundings were taken and fixedduring passage of this strait. At 0400 hours on June 29, the Algerine entered Forbes Sound in the approaches to Port Burwell. Initial attempts to break a passage into the harbour that morning were unsuccessful as the ice was some eight feet thick, and the ship made fast to the iee edge in Forbes Sound. A reconnaissance was made by launch across the comparatively open water of the sound to Fox Harbour, a small inlet tv~omiles north of Port
