Hands to Supper - Galley and Steamline - HMCS Yukon
Hands to Supper - Galley and Steamline - HMCS Yukon

Mess attendants (centre) aboard HMCS Yukon serve food from a steam table while their comrades (right) pass down the line to be served.

Crew accommodations aboard Canadian ships substantially changed after the Second World War. While sailors had previously slept, eaten, and lived in the same space - called a mess - post-war ships were different. Modified or built to provide cafeteria-style food service in galleys, they also incorporated bunks that replaced hammocks.
