Description
A model of “HMCS Port Colborne,” a River Class Frigate
which served from 1943-1945 during World War II. Some of its duties during the war included operating in the English Channel during the invasion of Normandy, serving off the coasts of France and Gibraltar, and escorting merchant ships during the Murmansk Convoys to Russia. Following the conclusion of the war she was broken up for scrap. This model is in the Museum's collection thanks to the contributions of a former crewmember Murray Sherwin, who organized and provided detailed plans for its construction. The model was built in nine months by seventeen members of the “West Island Ship Modellers Club” of Montreal.
