All of the Canadian Tribals that were in service were captured in this rare photo taken by Joe Winnik in Greenock Scotland on or about June 1, 1945. From the jetty outwards are HAIDA, HURON and IROQUOIS. RCN records show HAIDA and HURON arriving in Greenock on May 24th 1945 and IROQUOIS arriving on May 30th. This accounts for the order in the photo. It was unusual for the Tribals to be in Greenock as bases were available at either Scapa or Plymouth, England. In this trio, IROQUOIS was the Senior Ship. By war's end, ATHABASKAN had already been lost and the remaining Tribals were yet to be commissioned. |
