Roger Litwiller is the author of Warships of the Bay of Quinte. His interest in Canada's navy began as a sea cadet in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario. Later he became an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve and the Navy League of Canada. He lives near Trenton, Ontario.
Roger Litwiller obviously spent considerable hours doing exhaustive research on all six vessels and he has a knack for translating this research into text that is easy enough for a landlubber to understand and enjoy while not boring the bellbottoms off professional sailors. His bibliography is extensive, and a gold mine for anyone wishing to follow up with further reading. - Maritime Engineering Journal spring/summer issue 2013 "This rich and vivid account of an important part of Canadas Naval Service draws from the records of the ships, interviews with their crews, letters, diaries, newspaper articles, community libraries and photographs." -- Seawaves, July 23, 2011 "While the colour cover painting is striking and the illustrations inside well-chosen, the narrative in the chapters is the real strength of the book." - Northern Mariner magazine Jan 2012 Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Canadian naval history. -- Sea Breezes, May 2012
