HMCS Moose Jaw
In this episode, we tell the tale of the HMCS Moose Jaw, a flower class corvette built in Collingwood for transatlantic duty during WWII. Learn about the pivotal role Canadian civilian dockyards, including the Collingwood Shipyards, played in the construction of these important naval ships and listen to the riveting story of the HMCS Moose Jaw’s first battle against enemy U-boats.
After the story we share information on, and invite all of our listeners to come out to a wonderful travelling exhibit the Museum will be hosting in conjunction with Science North. “Our Climate Quest” runs May 8-29 at the Central Park Arena and promises tons of hands-on activities for all ages. Call the museum or check out our Facebook page for more details.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or story ideas we would love to hear from you. Drop us a line at www.facebook.com/collingwoodmuseum or [email protected]
