HMCS Ojibwa started the final leg of her journey to her permanent home in Port Burwell on Sunday November 18th as she made her way from her makeover stop in Hamilton, through the Welland Canal, arriving in Port Burwell on Thursday November 22. Efforts to stabilize the Otter Creek bed for the off-load from the barge have met with some set-backs, but it is hoped that it will take place Sunday morning. Below you will find some photos of the week, mostly by photographer Mark Girdauskas. |

Further Work to Get Barge in Stable Position for Off-Load, Saturday November 24th, 2012
Preparation of the Otter Creek bed continued Friday, hampered Friday afternoon by driving winds and rain. Saturday morning, the barge was moved ahead slightly but it was determined the bed was still not satisfactory.
