Summary
HMCSTrentonian tells the story of one of Canada's warship Corvettes that served during the Second World War and brought its crew home every time. Follow its construction at a small dockyard on the Great Lakes through training, going to war, its first convoy on the North Atlantic, searching for enemy submarines, and rescuing a stranded British submarine. The Trentonianwas the last Canadian ship to be attacked by the U.S. Navy, and it was eventually sunk, along with most of its crew, by a German submarine. Official records and crew testimonials tell its tale. Their story is told in their own words and with over 300 pictures, taken by members of Trentonian's crew, giving a unique visual and personal history of the life and death of a Canadian warship.
