MTB Base
Diaana dear,
I think the MTB base was for construction , fitting and refitting the Fairmile boats . They were built in Montréal so were the torpedoes. There are no reports to my knowledge of U Boats ever sailing up the St-Lawrence past Québec. The farthest the could make it submerged would be Trois Rivières but i see no point in doing that . They would of been very vulnerable because of the narrowness and the shallowness of the river. They were regular visitors of the Gulf and sank quite a few merchant ships there.A torpedoe even beached near Rimouski after it failed to reach its mark. It is showcased ar the musem in Point au Père were the Canadian Navy submarine is . Interesting part of WW2 history . Cheers ! Bob
