Canadian Yachting
The Victoria Classic Boat Festival is coming up at the end of August (August 31 – September 2).
This year will have many displays, activities and events that look back on BC's role on the Second World War.
WWII-era boats will be on display at the festival, they speak of the contribution made to the war effort as well as tell the sad story of the hundreds of vessels seized from persons of Japanese descent.
The photo above of the Merry Chase, is an example of such vessels on display at the 2018 Festival, that started under ownership of Japanese Canadians.
