HMCS Haida National Historic Site

Hamilton waterfront / Pier 9

Operator details ↗

This preserved Tribal-class destroyer introduces visitors to Canadian naval service through the ship itself, tours and interpretation. Parks Canada identifies its Hamilton home at Pier 9. At the October 2026 check, the ship was closed for the season; use the official schedule to plan a future visit rather than assuming daily access.

GETTING THERE

Plan your shore access

Land-side visitor address: 658 Catharine Street North, Pier 9. Closed for the 2026 season as checked October 12; confirm future opening and access arrangements with Parks Canada. Historic-ship admission is separate from marina moorage and does not provide a private-boat berth.

Before you go

  • Check current opening dates, admission and any separate tour tickets.
  • Review the operator’s accessibility information for your group.
  • Plan transport and shore access separately from any marina booking.
