She was modernized in 1988 at Halifax Shipyards, Halifax which saw new propulsion and navigation equipment installed. She is classed as a Marine Service Vessel and is an Ice Strengthened Medium Navaids Tender. Her twin vessel is CCGS ''Provo Wallis'' but the two vessels are not identical; ''Provo Wallis'' underwent a refit in 1990 that saw her hull lengthened by as well as a higher capacity derrick. The homeport of CCGS ''Bartlett'' is CCG Base Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia. CCGS ''Bartlett'' is named after Captain Robert Bartlett a Newfoundland seaman and Arctic mariner. He participated in the Peary and Stefanson expeditions and when his ship, ''Karluk'' was crushed in ice in the Bering Sea, he walked with an Inuk companion from Wrangell Island to Siberia and eventually succeeded in rescuing his crew. He continued to make Arctic voyages in his own vessel for two decades. ==References== # (CCGS ''Bartlett'' - official CCG webpage ), Canadian Coast Guard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CCGS Bartlett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
