Project Onondaga, Museum submarine at Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père, Rimouski, Canada
The HMCS Onondaga submarine measures 295 feet in length and contains six compartments spread across multiple decks for visitors to explore the naval environment.
The Oberon-class submarine served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1967 to 2000, conducting surveillance operations during the Cold War in the North Atlantic.
Named after the Onondaga Indigenous people, the submarine displays the wampum of the Iroquois nation on its crest, representing native heritage.
Guided tours of the submarine interior run daily from June to September, with temperature inside remaining constant at 15 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The submarine traveled over 500 nautical miles during its complex transport operation from Halifax to Rimouski, facing two capsizing incidents during installation.
