Bella Desgagnes on its way to Canada

 Although it states that the ship delivery took place in Italy it is not very clear if it was her own crew or a special hired crew for the difficult N-A crossing.
May it be a combination of both?  I would tend to think that in those weather conditions special preventive measures were taken. That in view of ship-icing and in her special configurations.

The ship sailed to Canada under Canadian flag. This means she had all Canadian officers and crew needed to sail the ship. Maybe there were some "supercargoes" , not part of crew, representing some special equipment manufacturers.
