HMCS Ojibwa, Cold War submarine museum in Port Burwell, Canada.

HMCS Ojibwa is a former patrol submarine of the Canadian Navy preserved as a museum in Port Burwell. The vessel stretches nearly 91 meters in length across five decks containing crew quarters, control rooms, and torpedo compartments.

The submarine entered service in 1965 and operated until 1998, monitoring Atlantic waters and supporting Canada's strategic naval defense. It was part of a fleet that maintained security of sea routes during the Cold War.

The submarine displays how naval officers and sailors worked and lived in tight quarters while protecting Canadian waters. The preserved spaces give a sense of daily life aboard and the importance of these vessels to national defense.

Visitors can take guided tours through multiple decks exploring crew quarters, control areas, and exhibits on submarine technology. Comfortable shoes are recommended since stairs are narrow and steep throughout the vessel.

The vessel is named after the Ojibwa people, an indigenous group of North America, reflecting Canada's connection to First Nations history. This naming choice shows how military ships often represent cultural and historical identity of the nation.

This ship that sailed under polar ice opens its doors

Hallways made of metal so narrow that you walk sideways, beds stacked in groups of three where sleeping seemed impossible, and control rooms where men made decisions in complete silence: enter these open-to-the-public submarines and see what life beneath the sea is like.
