His student summers were spent in the Naval Reserve, where he was a Cadet Captain and commissioned as a Sub-Lieutenant RCNR in 1964, and with the then-elite Fort Henry Guard in Kingston, Ontario (1964-1967).CareerAfter contract historical work for National Historic Sites following completion of graduate school he formally joined the Canadian Public Service in 1971, initially as an historian at the Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia. He served as Director General of the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa from 1986 to 1997, having joined the museum in 1975, and left after his efforts to introduce exhibits on the Holocaust, other genocides and the wider issues of human conflict and prejudice were defeated by veterans' groups and partisan historians reluctant to see Canada's own record of anti-Semitism examined. He was appointed to a term as an Honorary Captain in the Royal Canadian Navy by the Minister of National Defence the year he left the museum, and since his departure has been a full-time writer and occasional historical adviser and on-screen presenter for film and television productions.Naval/Maritime ExperienceWith the Navy he trained in RCN ships in the Arctic and Atlantic, and subsequently has voyaged as a "tall ship" seaman, beginning with the Canadian Grand Banks schooner "Bluenose II", in the Atlantic, Great Lakes, and across the Pacific to Hawaii, the last as crew/lecturer in the Australian replica of James Cook's 1768 ship, HM Bark "Endeavour". While at the museum and later for the Navy (until 2012) he organized and led historical naval pageants at Halifax, Summerside, Charlottetown, Toronto, Kingston, Amherstburg/Put-in Bay(Ohio) and Niagara-on-the-lake, involving combinations of sailing vessels, replica longboats, and civilian naval and military "re-enactors". He currently continues this activity on behalf of the worldwide Captain Cook Society, of which he is a member, and Les Amis de Bougainville, which is based in Papeete, Tahiti.Writing CareerHe is the author of thirteen books, including several works of historical non-fiction as well as two series of historical sea fiction, his most recent book being 'The Island of Canada', published in 2009. He currently (2014) is writing an historical novel based on the life of 18th Century French navigator Louis Antoine de Bougainville.Honours, AwardsHe was granted the Canadian Forces Decoration (CD), and was among those Canadians who received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. In 1995 he received an Eagle Feather granted by the Mi'kmaq First Nation of Mi'kma'kik/Prince Edward Island.Personal LifeHe lives with his artist wife Lindsay Scott Suthren (married 12 July 1969) in an 1850s cottage in the historic Rideau Canal village of Merrickville, Ontario, where he serves as a Town Councillor, and is the father of 3 grown children (Amy Parsons, Caedi Zaine and Scott Suthren) and grandfather to five grandchildren. He serves on the Board of the Friends of the Rideau Canal, and in addition to the Captain Cook Society (UK), is a member of Les Amis de Bougainville (Tahiti), the Canadian Nautical Research Society, the Royal Canadian Legion, and the Polynesian Voyaging Society (Hawaii).
