Visiting this last Corvette was fascinating and showed the harrowing conditions the eighty young men endured in savage conditions in World War 2. Very thought provoking.

I visited this stark memorial to our brave sailors' sacrifice and service several times while I lived in Halifax/Dartmouth a few years ago. I returned again while on vacation this summer and renewed again my memories of my Uncle Delbert's service. He actually served on destroyers, but I remember his comments about serving on corvettes like the Sackville. You were wet and cold, and tossed about like ping pong balls, from the time you left harbour until you returned from your convoy duties. No one must ever forget the enormous sacrifices our young men made during those perilous times. This is a "must visit" for everyone who cares about our contribution to Victory in the Atlantic. These little ships were the backbone of our convoy escort force.
