    Iguanasan, what a wonderful set of coincidences! It's a shame about the old building - what's left looks like it was still in good shape, at least the walls.

    Thanks. The historical society was battling it out with the building owner/developer. Honestly, though, the buildings on that block were old and actually in pretty bad shape. Actually using them would have required a lot of expensive restoration. It's in the downtown core and demolishing only makes sense. I think the developer plans to re-use the brickwork as a facade which is the better solution.

    Well, then maybe you'll get photos of the new building when it's done.

    Well, if you've got other pictures of it, throw 'em up, and maybe we can get it identified for you. It's a great photo, but for identifying details the best my husband can say is that it's got a 19th century look to it, with the possibility that it's a corvette built in WWII. Like the Liberty ships, those were an old design thrown together in a hurry, because they could be made in large numbers that way. Canada did have a fair number of them.

    He liked your other picture. It involves a ship.

    I was trying to remember when riveted construction ended. I know second world war USA started mass production of welded ships but how long after riveting stopped not sure! "Liberty ships"

    I would guess older than 1955 don't think any riveted ships were made after that date.

    However the canal boats often have washers welded onto the hull to make them look as if riveted.

    Okay, that was quick. Mike had some familiarity with the Flower Class Corvette, which was a very likely candidate. It's pretty clear that the one you photographed had sat and rusted somewhere for a bit (look at the pitting in your "viewpoint" picture), and the paint had that cover the metal to preserve it look (common solution for ships, trains and planes that someone doesn't have the money to restore). That meant it was more likely from WWII, rather than the 19th century, though it's based on the design of an old whaler from the 19th century.

    The ship you photographed is the only one of its type left in existence, the HMCS Sackville. I've included a couple of links - one is the official trust website, the other gives a bit of history and her "vital stats".

    "Flower Class Corvette"

    What the?? It's warship right?

    Was this the ship of choice for the 'Excessively Buoyant' (I'd say 'gay' but it might sound a bit rude or something) crews???

    yes it was a warship. I did some research based on the links from Q1. It was an anti-submarine boat and saw action in ww2. so excessively bouyant or not, she was a valuable ship in her day.
