The Onondaga Submarine is a historic landmark located in Pointe-au-Père, Quebec. This decommissioned submarine was once a part of the Canadian Navy and served as a vital component of the country's defense system. The Onondaga was built in the early 1960s and was in active service until 2000. It was then retired and eventually became a museum exhibit, allowing visitors to explore its interior and learn about its history.
The Onondaga Submarine is an impressive sight, measuring over 90 meters in length and weighing more than 2,000 tons. It is moored in the St. Lawrence River, providing a unique experience for visitors who can walk along its deck and peer into its periscopes. The submarine's exterior is painted in a distinctive blue and white color scheme, which was used by the Canadian Navy during the Cold War.
Inside the Onondaga, visitors can explore the various compartments and living quarters that were once used by the crew. The submarine's interior is cramped and utilitarian, with narrow passageways and low ceilings. Visitors can see the control room, the torpedo tubes, and the engine room, as well as the crew's sleeping quarters and mess hall. The Onondaga also features a small museum exhibit that provides information about the submarine's history and the role it played in Canada's defense.
Overall, the Onondaga Submarine is a fascinating attraction that offers a glimpse into the world of naval warfare. Its unique location in the St. Lawrence River and its well-preserved interior make it a must-see for anyone interested in military history or engineering. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique experience, the Onondaga Submarine is definitely worth a visit.
