When HMCS OKANAGAN visited Hamilton in November 1990, it was said that she was the first submarine to visit the city. Not true! The former German submarine UC-97 was here seventy-one years earlier. https://hamiltonnaval.ca/ex-german-uc-97/
German Submarine in Hamilton Harbour!
I have been searching for the CHCH interview when the Submarine came to Hamilton Harbour. They interviewed Richard Patterson, he was asked to do the interview as he was from Hamilton. He is my uncle. I’d love to see it.
Hi Lisa, Was Richard part of OKANAGAN’s crew? I toured OKANAGAN when she was here alongside HMCS STAR.
