Eric the Red is a Rodent Control Officer on the CSS Acadia in Halifax.
He’s held his position for 18 years.
He started as a stray stowaway, before the Acadia crew gave him his job title.
He was SO popular with tourists – he was cat-napped THREE times during his career!
He’s hanging up his peg leg and moving into a house with his partner, CSS Acadia’s Officer Read.
