Biographical history
John Kirkendale worked as a deckhand on towboats at the early age of 15. During WWII, he was an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy, serving as navigating officer in corvettes and minesweepers in the Atlantic. By the end of the war he was a Lieutenant, RCNR. He later served as first mate on the Estevan and other vessels. John enjoyed building various ships and restoring them, notably the 68 foot D'Arcy Isle. He also compiled a very comprehensive archive of ships in which he gained a vast knowledge of commercial vessels on the Pacific Coast. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timescolonist/obituary.aspx?n=john-kirkendale&pid=157443334#sthash.hT44n8RI.dpuf
