HMCS CABOT
Naval Reserve Division, St. John's, Newfoundland
HMCS CABOT was commissioned at St. John's, Newfoundland on 20 Sep 1949. Initially located at Buckmaster's field, CABOT was part of a Tri-Force Headquarters along with the Army and Air Force. Many of its initial crew were those who served in WW2 RN, RNR and RCNR. With a growing crew, CABOT moved to Bldg 314 in Pleasantville, a former US army base. Throughout her history CABOT had several tenders - REVELSTOKE, LANGARA, ACADIAN, PB 199, and STANDOFF. Looking to have a training facility on the water, Pier 27 on the south side of St. John's harbour was chosen. The boathouse was opened on 05 Jan 1998 and the training facility on 19 Feb 2000.
