@RLitwiller One of Canada’s forgotten (almost!) naval engagements. Thanks for posting, Roger.

Great photo Norma - and interesting handbag too. Ted, like Tim Cook, is a humble but brilliant guy. Canadian military history is so much richer for his work. Thanks for sharing.

@WestCoastCmdre Firing blanks at the time, I trust.

@RLitwiller Good picture, Roger. As you noted ONTARIO was the second, the first being HMCS UGANDA (later QUEBEC), the ship that voted herself out of the war.

#OTD in 1945, HMCS ESQUIMALT was torpedoed and sunk by German sub U-190. Thirty-nine were lost, and the remaining survivors were picked up by HMCS SARNIA. This pennant was signed by all the crew members only nine months before the ship was lost. (photo: ship company , March 1945)

A fascinating place to visit, with hundreds of posters, ship's badges, etc now.

Next to watching the ships coming and going here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the Second World War, would have been watching the aircraft coming and going at Gander, Newfoundland. 🙂❤🇨🇦 @RCAF_ARC @RoyalCanNavy #SecondWorldWarHistory
