    A MUST SEE !! This historical boat has free entry and is worth the detour! You don't have access to everything, but the place you do are impressive, and you learn a lot! You can see the whole boat in about 30 minutes, and speaking with the personnel makes it even more fun! I recommend this place to everyone!

    This historical boat has free entry and is worth the tour. The personnel also gave information and told stories about this boat. I learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. I would recommend this place to everyone.

    A very well preserved warship and extremely interesting to visit. A very similar class of Corvette to The Compass Rose in the book/film "The Cruel Sea". Of particular interest as my grandfather served on the North Atlantic Convoys in WW2.

    A great walk into history. Everything on this shop is kept in good condition. It feels like sailers still running back and forth for telegrams.

    Cool old ship, lots of history. Perhaps the old grumpy guy that does not talk to patrons well should be removed amd it would be a more enjoyable experience.

    This was a really interesting way to spend an hour. Lots of sections restored and set up to how it would have been when in operation. My only complaint was that many of the speakers that were supposed to describe the areas we viewed were no working, and there was limited written information to explain what you were looking at. In the areas that had staff, it was great because they were very knowledgeable and explained. Admission is by donation.

    Amazing piece of history. I visited on a school holiday, and I must say, it was awesome. 10/10, I recommend.

    A great piece of history. You can get into, on and around the ship to see much of what it was like to serve on a corvette at sea during World War 2. We visited her in October of 2017 and had a great time. When we came back in June 2018, she was away being refitted. The website says she will be back at her berth in late summer 2018. Worth a visit, especially after she is back in tip top shape.

    Very knowledgeable officers on the HMCS Sackville. The ship was restored and it looked great. The brave sailors from WW2 sunk 3 u-boats. Great contribution!

    Incredible piece of Canadian naval history. Guides are friendly and very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They could easily charge admittance but is entirely done on donations! Beautiful ship

    Neat to tour the ship. There are guides at certain points on the ship who will explain the part of the ship that you are on. Make sure to leave a donation as well to make sure they can maintain the ship.

    Great insight into culture then. The people there are really passionate about it. visitors can be rude but awesome, interactive ship that you can explore

  • 5/5 Rich S. 1 year ago on Google
    A must see and beautifully restored and maintained piece of Canada's Naval history. As the Sackville is the last in the world of her kind, she is an absolute must see! The staff on board are very friendly and very knowledgeable. There is recorded audio in many of the locations, but not all were operating when I visited. Admission is by donation only.

    Visited while the International fleet week was happening and got to tour this and another ship, as well as watch their award ceremony. Amazing experience

    Great place to visit! Very interesting and informative! Fascinating scenery inside. Definitely recommend!

    Was cool seeing what sea life must have been like for merchant ships and soldiers during the war years. We take so much for granted these days. They were a tough lot back then, it seems. Have a gander, go see for yourself.
