Original Toronto Star caption: Canada's rapidly growing navy received another boost when a Fairmile sub-chaser and two R.C.A.F. crach boats were launched at the Hunter Boat Works in Orillia. The launching ceremonies saw numerous high-ranking naval and R.C.A.F. personnel from Ottawa; Montreal and Toronto participating. The Fairmile shown here is 112 feet in length with a beam of 18 feet. This is the seventh of such craft to be constructed by the Orillia boat firm since July; 1941; when contracts were awarded.
