HMCS Haida, a Tribal Class destroyer built in England, was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in 1943, serving in many theatres of operation through the Second World War. After a post-war refit, Haida continued in service through Korean War and Cold War situations, until she was decommissioned in 1963. The ship was acquired by the Province of Ontario and moved to Ontario Place (Toronto) in 1971. The ship was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984 by the federal government, and ownership was transferred to Parks Canada in 2002. HMCS Haida arrived at Pier 9 in Hamilton Harbour on August 30, 2003, the 60th anniversary of her commissioning.

You can find this cache even when the gates are closed.

Le NCSM Haida, un destroyer de classe Tribal construit en Angleterre, a été mis en service par la Marine royale du Canada en 1943. Le Haida a participé à de nombreuses opérations durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Après une remise en état, il a repris du service durant la guerre de Corée et pendant la guerre froide jusqu'à son déclassement en 1963. La province d'Ontario s'en est alors portée acquéreur et l'a déménagé à la Place Ontario (Toronto) en 1971. Le navire a été désigné lieu historique national du Canada par le gouvernement fédéral en 1984. Parcs Canada en est devenu propriétaire en 2002. Le NCSM Haida a fait son entrée à la jetée 9 du port de Hamilton le 30 août 2003, le jour du soixantième anniversaire de sa mise en service.

Vous pouvez trouver cette cache même quand les barrières sont fermées.
