Sinking of HMCS Otter in WW II Halifax remembered as 'dramatic tale of tension and heroics'

March 22, 2026

Nineteen people died on March 26, 1941, just outside of Halifax harbour after a vessel patrolling for Nazi subs and sea mines sank after it caught fire. The deaths and heroic rescue of the remaining 22 crew members served as a reminder of the horrors of war. Wartime censorship played a role in what could be reported.
