HMCS Haida located in Hamilton Ontario is a ww2 era  canadian built destroyer from 1943 she was the best in her class at the time she was built. Boasting the most modern guns,engines and hull she was truly a worthy adversary for the german wolf packs in ww2. The Haida was decommissioned in 1963 and was going to be sold for scrap but a few torontonians raised enough money to purchase the ship and position her in a naval museum at the foot of york street. The Haida was moved from toronto to Hamilton harbour and was under parks canada for a while before being moved one more time to a canadian naval base still in Hamilton. Tourists can visit the Haida go on ship and below deck for a in depth tour of the ship and all of her historical battles.
