Shore stops · Hamilton, ON

HMCS Haida National Historic Site

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.
