Boarding Party Coming Aboard the Whitehorse

This painting is one of a series of watercolours by Doug Bradford depicting a boarding exercise at sea.

Boarding parties, transported by small, high-speed craft, board boats and ships of all sizes in order to inspect them, and to examine cargoes, check documents, and talk to crews. These activities are an integral part of the Canadian navy's ongoing presence in the Arabian Sea and adjoining waters, enforcing international sanctions and carrying out anti-piracy and anti-terrorism work.
