This summer, we’re setting sail beyond Collingwood! Join us as we follow the incredible adventures of ships built right here in Collingwood - travelling oceans, crossing decades, and surviving wars, disasters, and even a few identity changes! In this episode we are tracing the journeys of ships like Hull 25, Hiram Robinson and Hull 81, J.H. Carter as they head off on very different paths across Ontario and Quebec.
