Sailors Find Hobbies Aboard Canada’s Far East Destroyers
Canada’s three destroyers in the Far East host numerous hobbyists among officers and crew. On HMCS Cayuga more than 30 take up painting, a dozen build ships and planes, others work with leather or feather art, and many photograph or film ship activities. Cmdr. William P. Hayes encourages the arts with his own oil painting as crew members craft models, landscapes, and leather goods. The ship’s camera club, organized by Surg. Lt. A. L. Halpern, plans a movie of the voyage while CPO Robert J. Hamilton aims to shoot about 1000 photographs on the tour.
