McKeil Marine Limited is proud to be towing the Oberon class submarines from Halifax to Port Maitland.  Due to a lot of public interest in viewing these submarines, we invite you to check back often for updates on the submarine tows.

Currently the Olympus submarine is tied up in the Port of Hamilton awaiting a dry tow on a barge to Port Maitland.  The Okanagan will be loaded in Halifax next week around August 10th on a floating drydock supplied by Heddle Marine and towed to Hamilton, she is expected in Hamilton around August 19th.

Due to Port regualtions and safety, access to the submarines will not be possible, however McKeil Marine will update the general public on the departure from Hamilton to Port Maitland for the final leg of the voyage.  We recommend going to the Burlington Piers or anywhere along the waterfront where it is open to the general public.  

Estimated Time of Departure from Hamilton for Olympus: August 22nd - August 26th

Estimated Time of Departure from Hamilton for Okanagan:  August 22nd - August 26th

These times are estimates and are not confirmed, as we move closer to final part of the tow, McKeil Marine will update on the date and time of departure so all can enjoy watching a piece of Canadian Navy History sail past.  Please check back often for updates.
