Oh very cool! Is she open for visits yet?

[captgeo]

I really dont think so, last I heard she was still being set up, maybe this summer it will open, I will try to get more info, but when it does open I will be visiting her:yeah:

I found this article on her ....http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/2012/11/27/inch-by-inch-hmcs-ojibwa-is-eased-ashore-toward-its-permanent-home-in-port-burwell

How far is she from Vancouver?

How far is she from Vancouver?

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

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

:up:

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!
