Although this Carolinian zone comprises less than a quarter of one percent of Canada's land area, it is home to more types of flora and fauna than anywhere else in the country.
Carolinian Canada is a cooperative project set up in 1984 by the Province of Ontario and non-profit conservation groups to preserve the ecological diversity of this zone.
Carolinian (No. 1445), a freighter, was built in 1906 by Furness-Withy Co., West Hartlepool, England; known as Harley and Southerner before her acquisition by the Navy 5 October 1918; and commissioned the same day, Lieutenant Commander W. Fralic, USNRF, in command.
Carolinian operated in European waters, based at Cardiff, from her commissioning until 8 February 1919, carrying coal from Cardiff and other English ports to France for use by Army transports coaling at French ports.
She sailed for Newport News with return cargo for the Army, and after stopping in the Azores for voyage repairs, arrived at Baltimore 12 March to discharge her cargo and start inactivation.
