HMCS Trentonian [SEP] vessel class
HMCS Trentonian
HMCS "Trentonian" was a modified that served with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. She fought primarily in the Battle of the Atlantic and the English Channel as a convoy escort. She was named for Trenton, Ontario, though due to a naming conflict with another vessel, her name was changed. She was sunk in 1945.
Background.
Flower-class corvettes like "Trentonian" serving with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were different from earlier and more traditional
1988 in memory of the fallen of all conflicts, with a special memorialization to the lives lost in the sinking of HMCS "Trentonian", a ship named for the city of Trenton and lost during World War II.
Design.
A broken column suggests lives cut off early. For the 1988 rededication, two benches were added; one for "rededication to the fallen of all conflicts"; the second dedicated to crew of HMCS "Trentonian".
