I have visited the ship with my husband (Member of the DND-military) , as you can imagine, we visit anything that is related to war (sea, air or ground). This vessel was no exception. We have waited for a cloudy day. Usually it’s 5.00$ per adults, but free for military members and their family (with proper ID’s) . The ship, has a rich history, it is the last of Canada’s corvettes, it was responsible of many convoy escort ships, it was  built in Canada and the UK during WWII. It’s the Canada’s oldest warship ( that was fighting). It was nominated as an official Naval Memorial in 1985.

If you are eager to learn more on Canada’s contribution to war, it’s a must see. You’ll learn a lot on the living conditions of the Men onboard, they were quite a  large group living in a confined spaces, at sea for months and without too much commodity . 

I loved my visit, but once you’ve seen one of those warship, it’s like seeing the same all the time . On the other hand, if you take time to listen during the tour, each one has it’s individual story to tell.

Would I recommend this tour? yes, of course. But I am not sure, that it would be appropriate to bring young kids to that activity, they might get bored in time ( I think that it would be great for pre-teens , teens , young adults , adults, veterans, or Naval history passionate).
