Port Burwell, Ontario is approximately 4,226.8 km from Vancouver.

But only 72 km from where I am. When she opens to the public, I'll be paying her a visit.

Ah, right....that's that then

Yeah, it's only about 80km from where I live as well. I will definitely be coming by to visit as soon as I can.

She's also within driveable distance of HMCS Haida in Hamilton, so I'm very happy that we'll have another museum ship here in southern Ontario now!
