Imagine steering a ship through freezing storms, knowing that silent submarines could strike at any moment...
For six years, a secret war raged beneath the waves of the Atlantic. Ships called corvettes, built right here at the Kingston Dry Dock, hunted invisible enemies lurking in the dark waters. Many aboard weren't experienced sailors. Some were just ordinary people like you and me, thrust into extraordinary danger. Discover the story of the Canadian Corvettes' role in the Battle of the Atlantic, where courage met the cold, dark sea.
