U-boats operations in St-Lawrence Riv. 1942

I was doing a research about a local legend in a small fishing village on the north shore of the st-Lawrence river. It stated that there was a sunk u-boat near the coast & village. After consulting the U-boat database, I found that the germans never lost a ship in these operations. So, legend it was! But I also found this intersting document about this particular period.

It refers to the many ships sunked by u-boats in 1942;
The closing of the waterway to all military traffic because of U-boats;
The political turmoil it caused and propaganda;
and finally the use of land-based radars to try to pick u-boats on the surface.
the quality of the graphics is poor, as it comes from a printed pdf which I lost somewher in my HD…

Great thread Windrider. Am a frequent visitor to the St. Lawrence myself.

Thanks Sickles!
I’moving to Hâvre-St-Pierre next month to work in a kayak expedition business…
It will be a great summer for me, a long dreamed wish that I can finally accomplish…
So if you happen to go there, I’ll be at expeditions Agaguk !
Cheers!

Very good free reading on the matter on google books. It appears to be complete but whithout the pictures. (correction : some pages missing… it was too good to be true)
