Things you don’t expect to find in southern Ontario

Yesterday we learned that tiny Port Burwell, Ontario, is home to an actual military submarine. Today we returned to tour it. This is HMCS Ojibwa, an Oberon class submarine that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and later the Canadian Forces Maritime Command from 1965 to 1989. It was a cold war “spy sub” and therefore all of its activity was, and still is secret. It was a fascinating tour. Hard to believe 70 people would live in such crowded quarters for months at a time.
How very cool!

Nice comp. I don’t have claustrophobia, but I think I would if I had to live in a can.

We have seen it but not been inside. Several years ago my dad gave me a book of the Top 150 Unusual Things to See in Ontario, and it's in there!

So interesting. There is a submarine base close to here and the life of a submariner is tough.

Great capture and interesting narrative. I toured a submarine several years ago and I had no idea how cramped they would be with everyone aboard and also no privacy at all.

There's no way I would live in a tube that goes below the surface of the water. Thank goodness there are people who do!

I like that you centered on the conning tower and chose the upward pov
