Fair Jeanne Docked in Brockville

I was in Brockville on Sunday, July 10, 2016 taking pictures of memorials there. I saw Fair Jeanne moored next to the Aquatarium and, of course, I took pictures. Enjoy.

Boats in a Marina in Brockville

While I was in Brockville visiting Blockhouse Island I took some pictures of the boats docked in the marina there. I'm sharing them here, no biggie.

Brockville Police Boat

I visited Brockville. While photographing boats in a marina there I decided to take a few of the police boat moored there. This would make a super radio control model.

Capital Marine Modellers' Guild Attended the Third Annual Military Hobby Show

On 12 June 2016 members of Capital Marine Modellers' Guild manned a booth providing a display of ship models, video and reference books. Hosted by the Ottawa Service Battalion the show occupied a large room in the Major E. J. G. Holland VC Armoury on 2100 Walkley Road, Ottawa. In addition to our club's display, many hobbyists and vendors contributed to the show.

Twin Four Inch Gun from HMCS Buckingham

In the Parc des Anciens-Combattants in Buckingham, Québec you will see a twin four inch gun and two anchors from HMCS Buckingham, a river class frigate that served in World War II.

You can see more photographs of this site on my blog site, Memorials in Ottawa. Should you ever build a model of a Canadian ship that had this gun on it, you can go to Buckingham and get a very good reference for it.
