| HMS Flamborough Head |
Dates: 1944 - 2001 HMCS Cape Breton (ARE 100) was a Cape-class escort maintenance ship, built for the Royal Navy as HMS Flamborough Head in 1944. It was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1952 and served till 1975. It was used as a floating machine shop until the late 1990s. Except for a short section of the stern and her engines, which will comprise a significant portion of the Maritime Museum in North Vancouver BC, it was sunk in the waters of British Columbia in 2001 by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia after extensive cleaning to meet Environment Canada requirements. It now lays near Snake Island in Nanaimo harbour and is a popular scuba diving site.
