This World War II corvette (a lightly armed, submarine-hunting warship) sits at the waterfront just as it did more than 60 years ago before joining a supply convoy for the hazardous trans-Atlantic crossing. Today, it is a painstakingly restored museum and memorial. Visitors can explore from the hold to the bridge at leisure. June to mid-October daily 10 am-5 pm. Can$4 adults, Can$2 seniors, veterans and children. Sackville Landing Wharf (downtown, at the foot of Sackville Street), Halifax. Phone 902-429-2132 (winter phone 902-427-2837). http://www.hmcssackville-cnmt.ns.ca.
