HMCS SACKVILLE (K181) NCSM Sackville

One of the most recognizable classes of ships built in Canada – the “Corvette”. SACKVILLE spent the war fighting the Battle of the Atlantic, on convoy duty between North America and the United Kingdom. The last of her class in the world, SACKVILLE is Canada’s Naval Memorial and is permanently preserved and open to the public in Halifax, NS.

La corvette est un des types de navires construits au Canada le plus facilement identifiable. La « corvette » Sackville a passé toute la guerre à combattre dans la bataille de l’Atlantique et à effectuer des convois entre l’Amérique du Nord et le Royaume-Uni. Le dernier de sa catégorie au monde, Sackville est le monument maritime du Canada et il est conservé en permanence à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Écosse, où il est possible de le visiter.
