While corvettes are being discussed, it may be worth mentioning that of all the wartime corvettes that plied the North Atlantic only one is left.  That's HMCS Sackville, now berthed in Halifax, NS, and open to the public.  She was rescued from a terminal career as a survey vessel by a group of volunteer enthusiasts who raised money and restored her to her active-duty condition.

Please tell me I was misinformed. She is a bit of history that should definitely be preserved until the words ,Battle of the Atlantic mean no more to Canadians Nick > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > MARINERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
