Belle visite gratuite (contributions volontaires) d’un ancien navire bien restauré. Pour la visite complète il y a quelques marches et des endroits à accès restreint mais on peut visiter sans aller dans ces endroits.

Went on Canada Day, so the lineup to get onto the ship was longer. That said, it was totally worth it. The ship has all kinds of interactive and traditional museum exhibits. There are also staff on board to answer any questions you might have about the ship or its compartments.

Once you leave the ship, they have a giftshop that helps support the upkeep of the ship and the museum. Some neat trinkets and apparel there.

If you like ships or WWII history this place is for you. You get a really good look at a small ship that played a big roll in WWII. This ship and many like her protected allied convoys sailing across the North Atlantic. The volunteers have done a great job of restoring her to her 1944 configuration. The $10 donation was a real bargain. This definitely isn't something to miss.

The last Corvette, HMCS Sackville is an honorary ship on display anchored at Halifax Waterfront and is a one-of-a-kind experience of what it was like to be on a battleship from World War II.

The ship has been restored to its glory days in vibrant colours from when it accompanied transport ships across the Atlantic to prevent German submarine attacks. We were able to operate the battle guns, see the missiles, engine room, close living quarters and see the top of the deck as well as various displays and commemorative plaques for past service folks.

There is no admission fee but a recommended donation of $5pp at the entrance. Many Canadian navy sailors are also on deck to guide and answer questions.

This ship is a real-life piece of history. It was like living in World War 2. My children got to see and feel what life was like on this ship. The tremendous hardships our soldiers tolerated.

It was a lesson in war, ships, marine life, engineering, and weapons. We were lucky to have someone explaining the logistics, tactics, and strategy behind the deployment of these ships.

The ship was converted from a troller design and had so many things built in, from the medical room, to tuck shop, to post office and more. You get to see all that, even how they showered and ate.

I was surprised just how much my kids were into this ship and how long they stayed aboard.

There are lots of food stands on shore that offer a decent selection at reasonable prices. The exception is the coffee stand, which charged $4 for a muffin.

Unfortunately, parking is hard to find nearby. So, go earlier in the day.

Admission is by donation. But, you must make a donation of some amount .

It's definitely worth a visit!
