Alan Doyle Narrates Military Moments | Battle of the Atlantic

Battle of the Atlantic video narrated by Alan Doyle nominated for 2019 Canadian Online Publishing Award

Canvet Publications Ltd. has been named a finalist in the 2019 Canadian Online Publishing Awards for Best Video Content for the Military Moments video Battle of the Atlantic narrated by Alan Doyle.

The video—narrated by Canadian musician and artist Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea—takes us back to Sept. 3, 1939, when a German U-boat torpedoed the ocean liner SS Athenia just hours after Britain had declared war on Germany. The Battle of the Atlantic was Canada’s longest campaign of the Second World War.

Other finalists in this category include Huffington Post Canada, Huffington Post Quebec, Canada’s History Magazine and Hakai Magazine. The 2019 Canadian Online Publishing Awards take place in Toronto in November.
