HMCS Sackville
The world's last surviving Flower-class corvette from the Second World War, which once escorted Atlantic convoys and is now docked on the waterfront for public tours.
HMCS Sackville was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. It escorted Allied merchant convoys during the Battle of the Atlantic, and it is the only surviving ship of its class in the world, now serving as a memorial to the Canadian Navy. In summer it is moored at the waterfront boardwalk beside the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, where visitors can board and explore the bridge, engine room and crew quarters. In winter it is moved to the naval base for maintenance. Admission is a small fee or a voluntary donation, and the tour lasts about 45 minutes.
