HMCS Sackville, July 2010

No comments
The sun was shining so bright on my walk home along the harbour today I just had to stop and take a shot of the old boat. The HMCS Sackville is a Flower-class corvette, and the last surviving specimen. It lives, rightly so, at Sackville landing on the Halifax harbourfront. It was launched in May 1941 and decommissioned in April 1946 after a successful career defending the north Atlantic. In 1942 the HMCS Sackville defended convoys against a wolf pack of German submarines (U-boats) off the coast of Newfoundland.
