At the time that Haida was in service Canada and the Canadian Navy would have used miles. We only adopted the metric system in the 1970s.

[@johnmcallan3980]

Served on board Haida for her very last commission. Some ships vary in their lifetime, good to bad or vice versa, depending on crew. HMCS Haida was the exception, this lady served proudly from beginning to end. It was a privilege to serve on her.

[@maggiebee5261]

My father (RCNVR, 1939-45) was aboard Haida the night she and Athabaskan engaged the enemy in the English Channel. The Athabaskan was lost, and my dad remembered Haida’s CO, Harry deWolf, trying desperately to save as many of her crew as possible. My dad should have been on the Athabaskan that night, but was switched to the Haida at the last minute. That night was vivid in his memory for the rest of his life.

You may remember Captain Stockwell then. I met him and became familiar with the Haida when I worked in Technical Services at Ontario Place one summer and I was asked to fix his TV.

[@wesleywesolowski5812]

Actually there are some Canadian do understand Royal Canadian Navy and I do read military history and also I understand first hand about the Battle of Atlantic since my grandfather served from 1940 to 1945 and than didn't retire until 1964 from the navy. Canadian Navy had there section. RCN regular navy and Naval reserve units and the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve which help the navy win the Battle of Atlantic and we had the largest ship design and Canadas corvette like HMCS Sackville K181and HMCS Haida was also with HMCS Athabasca which unfortunately was sunk by German unit and depth charges usually rolled of the stern but I do know that depth charges also was thrown from port and starboard side and plus we also had the hedgehog for anti submarine warfare and muintiy was on board HMCS Haida and HMCS Ontario as well in 1949. HMCS Sackville belong to Canadas naval memorial trust in Halifax NS Canada and is Canadas last Corvette of WW2 also known as Canadas Flowers written by author Thomas E Lynch

My dad served briefly on the Haida under Capt. DeWolf. He was aboard the night in April '44 that Haida and (the original) Athabaskan engaged two German destroyers off the coast of Normandy. Haida was the only vessel to survive the encounter intact. Sadly, Athabaskan was torpedoed and sank. Haida rescued as many men as they could find, although my dad always recalled that the Athabaskan's captain, John Stubbs, declined to be rescued, saying he would "stay with the men".

That's more like it. The Canadians played one the most crucial roles in both World Wars.

[@stevestruthers6180]

With roughly 10% of Canada's population serving in the armed forces during the Second World War, plus all the tanks, aircraft, naval vessels and other weapons and kit Canada supplied for the war effort, Canada punched way, way above her weight. Indeed, the only Allied unit to reach its D-Day objective was a Canadian tank regiment. It's unfortunate that Canada's contributions during the First and Second World War haven't been better recognized. But I suppose that may have had something to do with the fact that Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew have rarely fought for glory, but more because they wanted to do their jobs, do them well, and go home when their jobs were finished.

There are quite a few comments here from Ontarians who maybe believe that HMCS Haida is "their" ship, - typical of Ontario - which often believes "their" province is the only true province of Canada. The HAIDA Native or Indigenous People (formerly and incorrectly termed "Indians" by Christopher Columbus) are a large group on the north coast of British Columbia, Canada's western-most province, they inhabit a large archipelago called (by them) "Haida Gwaii" (gw-eye) "the homeland", known in English as the Queen Charlotte Islands. They have a well earned reputation as being the fiercest fighters of the many Native Peoples along that coast from Alaska to Oregon, raiding and pillaging not unlike the Vikings of Scandinavia. Their islands have long been a source of lucrative timber from the huge trees that grow in the temperate rainforests there - many wooden Mosquito aircraft were built from them in WWII - around 1990 a landmark environmental battle was won largely by the Haida to establish a National Park on the untouched southern part of the Islands.

I used to spend a fair amount of time on her at Ontario place, so sad to see the shape she is in. Makes me want to cry looking at the rust and how they paint around the rope coils on deck and so on. The video missed a few things about her including her sinking of a U-boat in the Channel. If interested there is a few books about her that do a better job telling her story. her war record was more impressive then this video shows. Her Captain, De Wolf was a great captain who went on to be made an admiral and commanded aircraft carriers in the RCN.

[@wilmotebeuscart301]

[@fireshorts5789]

from what I remember, the ship was actually in far worse condition when it was moored at Ontario Place. The ship underwent a complete and thorough restoration when it was moved to Hamilton, including an almost complete reconstruction of the hull itself. Minor cosmetic blemishes aside, she's probably one of the most well kept ships of her age left in the world.

[@Peorhum]

yeah was in rough shape at the end at Ontario place, as she had been there since the 60s without any dock work which she needed badly. That said she was well painted...maybe to well painted as they had a habit of painting over rust without removing it but she was well cared for, with men actually living on her at times. I was on her quite often in the 70-80s. Looking at her in Hamilton she looks like she had been hit a few times on her starboard side. There are a few other signs of poor care too like where it looks like they painted around the rope coil on deck when the rope should have been moved then the deck painted. As for the most well kept ship of her age left in the world...that is a pretty strong statement. I have seen videos on ytube that shows differently. Now I am willing to give those in charge of taking care of her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the video was taken just in late spring and they did not have time to clean her up after the winter. I have seen videos of her from years past at Hamilton and she was better kept then. SO maybe it is due to needing care after a hard winter. I understand parks Canada had their budget cut repeatedly by Harper, I hope that isn't reason.

Subscribed!!! These are just top notch productions, thanks for uploading too. I'm now going to look at your other ones. I started playing WOWS about 2 months ago and it has completely taken up 95% of my gaming time! Such a great game.

[@M5YUILL]

Glad to see the video has been completed. Well timed release just before Canada Day. Excited for the Haida in Game! Well done WG! Excellent CGI Battle too

[@Bdeslaurs]

i'm Canadian and didn`t know about this ship xD thx for the info i guess :)

[@ArcticuKitsu]

Check out HMCS Ontario, HMCS Uganda/Quebec, as well as HMCS Prince David, Prince Henry, and Prince David. We even captured a U-boat (or a few) that we had quite a nice interesting fleet going on.

I visit this location every so often when I need to be alone , it's one of my few happy places ,this is my home town and I'm proud of my country's contribution and preservation of this warship

[@NickFortier]

Have you ever been to the old water pumping station? The machinery is beautiful, and the story of the importance of that building is fantastic

[@combinefr]

I have visited her twice in person, this is a very nicely produced video!

[@andrewkovacs515]

I've been fortunate to have been aboard her when she was still in Toronto at Ontario Place. She deserves the Honour.

[@redtitan75]

I visited that ship few years ago.

My grandfather served on the Haida during the Second World War. He was the tallest member of the crew at 6'5" and had have a costume hammock made for him. He was stationed on the port rear Oerilkon, one of the few battle stations that he could be at all comfortable.

[@reuben4710]

When I was there back in 2009 the tour guide mentioned him, they still had one really long hammock and they were saying, imagine being 6'5" and working on this ship. All my family fought for the US but my friend's grandpa served on the Haida

The most endearing thing about Canada is that they are not jingoistic chest thumpers, they perform their tasks with the utmost respect, professionalism and humility......

Joel DH get your head out of your ignorant American ass and look up Vimy ridge, battle of Amiens or the first battle of Ypres and you’ll see that Canadians were respected and feared by Germany. Honestly I can’t stand people like you claiming we’re the best Canada is a wuss and blah blah blah. The United States is not the only country in the world so stop acting like it.

[@autisticgamer4949]

@@SwankySpitfire I dont think he was insulting us, i think he was implying that if we were scary tp fight when our armed force were volunteers, imagine what how scary we'd be if we conscripted

[@stevestruthers6180]

@Obsidian Rose: This is true. I remember reading somewhere that Canadian troops would routinely go into highly dangerous situations that would stop their American and British counterparts cold. Sure, the Canadians sustained higher casualty rates because of this, but more often than not, they would prevail. Perhaps their sheer audacity had something to do with it - a severe psychological effect that Axis troops didn't expect and couldn't counter.

[@chloehennessey6813]

I am Haida. Which is the tribe this ships name is derived from. Canadians during the war weren’t treated as second class citizens! My great grandpa has stories of how they LOVED having the Canadians along be it Army or Navy. Speak to any American WW2 veteran and they’ll have nothing but praise and admiration for Canadian military personnel!!

[@kevin_1230]

Unfortunately it is true. Their are many stories of how brits like Bomber Harris treated ''colonials'' including Canadians. It was not wide spread among the rank and file but particularly strong among the British upper class officers.
