Canadian naval postcards have been fairly difficult to find,
probably because there is a fair amount of demand and due to the size of the navy in the past. The Canadian Navy did not exist until after the postcard era (c.1902) ...so any warships in Canadian waters will not be Canadian, but most likely British warships. I do not have very
many Canadian warship postcards, but have some interesting ones.
