"Tribals Galore" - Taken in Halifax around 1962, ATHABASKAN 219
is berthed together with three of her sisters at Jetty 5 north. From the
jetty outward, the ships are CAYUGA, NOOTKA, ATHABASKAN 219 and MICMAC. To have these four Tribals together was an unusual and unique situation during that time. (DND Photo HS-69141)
