Ship history
I've stumbled upon a source that details what happened to the Gauss post 1925 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/polar-record/article/sector-claims-and-counterclaims-joseph-elzear-bernier-the-canadian-government-and-arctic-sovereignty-18981934/6ADB1FC693429BBE6771F9398FA108E8#ref5 (Institutional access required) Apparently, former captain Bernier bought the Gauss in 1926 to immediately sell it to Hudson's Bay Company. As sources Cavell cites several memos made to then-deputy minister of the interior William Wallace Cory, as well as an article in "The Beaver" from 1974, that schiffe-und-mehr.com, one of the sources currently used in the article, bases their conclusions on as well. The Beaver article (https://www.canadashistoryarchive.ca/canadas-history/the-beaver-summer-1974/flipbook/54/) further claims that Hudson's Bay Company stripped the ship of its gear and sold the hull to the Gulf Iron and Wrecking company in 1927 on the condition that the hull was to be broken up - which Gulf Iron apparently failed to do, leading to the rotten hull being photographed by former chief radio operator William Choat in 1929 (the photograph is in the article). Personally, I find this information relevant, but I'm not a Wikipedia editor and I'm unsure of whether/how to include it. Does anyone care to edit the article for the sake of clarity?
