The Night Order Book

Stokers on Line is a not an official Government web site and as such does not represent the Navy or DND in any way. It is not intended to duplicate information provided on the DND Intranet.

Stokers on Line is a not for profit web site dedicated to and for stokers.

The work involved in producing these pages is done by volunteers, no one except  "InMotion Hosting" and the Domain Company gets paid any funds provided by our sponsor, Jamie Higby .

The e-mail list will not be sold, or used except to inform those on the list of a function involving all stokers (not just a specific unit). Contact the Chief of the Watch if you wish to send a message to all stokers east, west, retired or all.

Our Budget

Specific financial information for this web site is available on request by contacting the Chief of the Watch. View our budget for 2002 and 2003 by clicking here.

A presence on the internet where stokers can go to link to, find, see, or get the following:

- Get job information
- See pictures
- Find accreditation information
- Link to other stoker’s web pages
- e-mail friends
- Post comments and opinions
- See upcoming events

The theme will be consistent with who we are, the bulletin board is called the stoker's table, the web master is the chief of the watch the Night Order Book is the up coming events page etc.

What is a stoker?

For the purposes of these web pages a stoker is any one who is or ever was a Marine Engineering Mechanic, Technician or Artificer of any rank in the Canadian Navy or a Diesel Mechanic and or Marine Engineering Systems Operator of any rank in the Naval Reserve. For a more colorful definition please read The Men Who Sail Below.

We will not divide/segregate the pages between east and west coast, C&POs and MS and Below, male or female, regular or reservist, serving or retired all stokers will have input.

^{Do you want to help?}

^{Stokers on Line will welcome any help we can get to further develop the site.}

Can I be the Chief of the Watch?

If you are or ever where a stoker of any rank you can be the next Chief of the Watch, a basic understanding of how to build a web site would be an asset. The current Chief of the Watch believes that the next should be a west coaster.
