(Vessel): It was named after J.E. Bernier, 1852-1934, a Canadian captain who explored Canada's claims in the arctic. (Model): This radio-controlled model was built specifically for a Dept. of Transport display exhibited at Expo '67, in Montreal. Titled 'Little Sea', the display was meant to demonstrate ice breaking techniques, lighthouse supply runs, and buoy retrieval. These tasks were demonstrated with the use of this and two other remote-controlled ship models (1968.0864 and 1968.0865), and a model lighthouse (1974.0081).
