Getting Tiddley Navy Uniforms from Cap to Boot

About this event
Step into the boots of a recruit and explore the evolution of the Royal Canadian Navy through the uniforms worn by those who served. From the iconic square rig to the high-tech safety gear of today, Getting Tiddley reveals how the navy uniform is a symbol of rank, a tool for survival, and a representation of Canada. The term “Tiddley” is naval slang for looking smart, neat, and sharp. This exhibition traces that standard of excellence through over eighty years of transformation, highlighting the moments when the Navy began to forge its own path distinct from British traditions.
