    Morning Doug,

    Another Flower Class Corvette with years of service after WWII was the HMCS Sackville. She became a research vessel for Canada and sailed along the east coast. She also did work in the Saint Lawrence River . I couldnโ€™t find very much in the way her decks were refitted for these tasks. See photo of 113

    While reading the High Seas High Risks book it had many photos and drawings which I can use to build the Sudbury. Yes another tug but one with an astonishing history, including making a tow of four old container ships from the Caribbean Sea, through the Panama Canal and up the west coast of the Pacific to Vancouver BC.


    She also made the trip to Japan vis the Aleutian Islands chain and the Gulf of Alaska often sailing in horrendous conditions but she never lost a tow or salvaged vessel.

    No Ron,
    I confess I hadn't heard of her, or the book, until you mentioned her.
    But tugs are not exactly my 'thing'.

    Doug

    Have you read the High Seas High Risks book? The story of the Sudburys.

    The link Ron H shared was about the SSSudbury II where as I am doing the first Sudbury, formerly the HMCS Sudbury.

    Hi
    I see you have a Flower Class Corvette. Which ship did you build?

    I have one but it is going to be modelled as the SS Samson. I just finished reading the book about her and itโ€™s very interesting. High Seas High Risks, The story about the Sudburys
