HMCS Sackville, K-181, "The Last Corvette", was built by Saint John Drydock, and Shipbuilding Ltd, Commissioning on the 30th of December 1941. She remains as the last example of a class of 269 Flower Class Corvettes built by the Allies for escort and anti submarine roles in World War Two. Sackville herself has had a long and varied service life, beginning her career in the U Boat infested waters of the North Atlantic. Throughout her long service life, she served as a training ship, a loop layer, depot ship, and an oceanographic research vessel. She now serves as a reminder of times past, reconfigured to her late war design as a museum ship in Halifax, Nova Scotia. HMCS Sackville is accessible from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic from May to October, on Lower Water Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She winters in HMC Dockyard, where she is maintained by dedicated Volunteers of The Canadian Naval Memorial Trust, with the assistance of The Canadian Navy.
