Was a great day for a drive so we thought let's pack up the bird and head to Lake Erie. We drove into Port Burrell which was packed with weekend warriors on there motorcycles. From behind the store fronts on main st I could see this huge black stack. Sundenly I remembered reading about the decommissioned Submarine that was brought here back in 2013 as a land historical exhibit.We parked the car and headed down to the water front along the river where the Submarine now resides. The exhibit was closed and has not opened for the season so Ithought I would try out my second attempt at video with the Mavic.
Well I messed up when I did what would of been a great video if I had pressed the record button
Below is some information from Wikipedia about the Submarine :
HMCS Ojibwa was an Oberon-class submarine that served in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and later the Canadian Forces Maritime Command(MARCOM). Originally intended for service with the Royal Navy as HMS Onyx, the submarine was transferred to Canadian ownership before completion, and entered RCN service in 1965. Ojibwa operated primarily with Maritime Forces Atlantic until her decommissioning in 1998. In 2010, Ojibwa was laid up at CFB Halifax awaiting disposal, with the Elgin Military Museum planning to preserve her as a museum vessel. The submarine was towed to Port Burwell, Ontario in 2012, and was opened to the public in 2013. She is now the new focal point of a planned Museum of Naval History to be built alongside.
