Captured U-Boat | Canada Declares War | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars

Sailors of the frigate HMCS Loch Alvie look over the side at a captured U-Boat in May 1945. German U-Boat submarines hunted the Atlantic Ocean for Allied convoys and war ships. They'd often gang up on smaller ships, and their low profiles made them nearly invisible.

Colour image. The side of a large ship is shown, Canadian sailors lean over the rail on the side. Attached to the boat by ropes is a barely-surfaced submarine; German military personnel are standing on top of it. — (Canadian Dept. of National Defence, Library and Archives Canada, MIKAN No. 4950920.)
