Here is a shot taken in 2012. The former HMCS
Ojibwa is about to give birth to the Elgin Military Museum's submarine exhibit at Port Burwell on the north shore of Lake Erie--by making her way to her final (I can't help myself) berth.

And here's how
Ojibwa looked in 2013, when the able and welcoming staff in Port Burwell were working their magic, preparing the cold warrior for her public debut.
Port Burwell and
Ojibwa are well worth a visit, for submariners and civilians alike.
And for a "gripping adventure in the grand trradition of sea sagas" (Ian Weir), beg, borrow or steal a copy of "
Terror on the Alert".
