New coast guard science vessel named after Nunavik elder

CCGS Naalak Nappaaluk, the Canadian Coast Guard’s new science vessel named after an elder from Nunavik, is shown at Vancouver Shipyards. Nappaaluk, from Kangiqsujuaq, was a hunter, consultant, navigator and meteorologist who died in 2010. His name was chosen for the ship by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Makivvik for his contribution to promoting Inuit language and culture. At 88 metres long, the ship is described as the largest dedicated science vessel ever built for the Canadian Coast Guard and can carry 60 crew and scientists, according to the coast guard website.
