The Haida


IMG_7455.jpeg

My Mom moved to Halifax from PEI during WWII when her Dad went to work at Halifax Shipyards, he helped build the Haida amongst other ships. They moved back to PEI after the war.

A few of us Poncho folks took a field trip to see the Haida back in August 2010 in Hamilton. It's now a great museum.

Hard to imagine that was 13 years a go we made that trip Todd.

Incredible to think the ship is 80, the only one surviving. 14 ships sunk, that's impressive. 

The new class of Arctic Patrol Vessels is named after the Haida's Commander Harry DeWolf.

IMG_7461.jpegI have this on my display wall, it says 1944 on it, navy gray paint, likely made of bronze. Its an explosion proof switch.

Where are the cars from the 2010 visit.
I only recognize one ( I think )
How many have changed hands.
How many still post here?

No idea where my old Laurentian is now. Ray still has his 73 LeMans. Not sure about the others. I think the Sedan Delivery showed up for sale year or two ago.
