    Hey guys,
    Also went to tour the Haida today. It is the only Tribal Class Destroyer left and saw action in WWII. It is a great tour, self guided so you get to climb all over the ship, even down into the engine room. It took us a couple of hours to tour the whole ship and admission is only $3.90 for adults. I highly recommend checking it out if your in the Hamilton Ontario area.

    Hey Wouter,
    The helmet is said to be the captains helmet, the insignia on the front is naval rank insignia. Period or not, I don't know...but I imagine if it was period it would have grown legs and walked by now.
