<br />Acadia arrived in Halifax on July 8, 1913 and was commissioned that July upon her first voyage using the prefix CGS, which stood for "Canadian Government Ship."

<br />1945 to 1975 - Call sign CGCB as Oceanographic Research Vessel

<br />
<br />This ship has been commissioned 5 times (1913, 1917, 1919, 1939, 1945). WOD has data from periods 1, 3, 5 and some data seemingly from after the ship's life (1969). These attributes correspond to the first period (1913-1917).
