;Bruce MacDonald is quite familiar with Shellbacks, as he has spoken to us at least a couple of times back in the 1980’s. He was captain of the STV Pathfinder for many years and has since moved to the west coast with his wife, Sheila, where he acquired North Star of Herschel Island and sailed it extensively for eighteen years while they raised four children aboard. He is the author of several books. His latest, Sisters of the Ice, is a biography of two British Columbia Ships, St. Roch and North Star of Herschel Island, that performed legendary service in the Canadian Arctic. He tells Shellbacks all about them and other notable voyages, ships, and sailors in the north. His presentation includes rare photographs and a short film clip.
