CGS Margaret
CGS ''Margaret'' was a Canadian Government Ship, and was the first vessel to be built specifically for the Customs Preventive Service. Delivered in 1914, she was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy and served as HMCS ''Margaret'' during the First World War. Following the war, ''Margaret'' was returned to the Customs Preventive Service, and was transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1932. Sold shortly thereafter, she was subsequently acquired by the Brazilian Navy and renamed ''Rio Branco''.〔Charles D. Maginley and Bernard Collin, ''The Ships of Canada's Marine Services'', St. Catharines, Ontario: Vanwell Publishing, 2001, p. 72.〕
==Origins and Military service==
Originally intended as a customs cruiser, CGS ''Margaret'' was built at Thornycroft's Woolston Works and delivered to the Department of Customs at Halifax in April 1914. With her two six-pounders, she was suitable for a patrol vessel, and given her similarities to a 1907 coastal defence cruiser that was never built, ''Margaret'' may in fact have been ordered in anticipation of war with Germany.〔David J. McDougall, ("The Origins and Growth of the Canadian Customs Preventive Service Fleet in the Maritime Provinces and Eastern Quebec, 1892-1932," ) ''The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du nord'', V, No. 4 (October 1995), 41.〕 CGS ''Margaret'' became HMCS ''Margaret'' when she was transferred, together with CGS ''Canada'', to the Royal Canadian Navy on 4 August 1914 following the outbreak of the First World War.〔Gibert Norman Tucker, (Naval Service of Canada: Volume I: Origins and Early Years'' ), (Ottawa: King's Printer, 1952), p.215〕 Commissioned in 1915, ''Margaret'' was used as an escort and patrol vessel in Atlantic coastal waters during the war, and was one of the first vessels in which Rear Admiral Leonard W. Murray served at the start of his distinguished military career.〔James M. Cameron, ''Murray: The Martyred Admiral'', (Lancelot Press 1980), ISBN 0-88999-145-6〕 ''Margaret'' was at Dockyard Jetty 2 in Halifax Harbour during the Halifax Explosion. She broke her moorings and suffered minor damage, while two of her crew were killed ashore.〔(Ships of the Halifax Explosion )〕
During the war, Morse's Tea and Coffee Company produced a series of 50 cards of ships; no.35 was HMCS ''Margaret''.
