Lowtide
Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship Oriole,
Oriole Flies
hoisted the Canadian Naval Centennial
spinnaker for the first time on Monday, July
Canadian Naval
27th. The wind picked up to fill the 6000 sq. ft.
spinnaker on the foremast, to proudly reveal
Centennial Spinnaker
the colorful Canadian Naval Centennial
logo.
The new spinnaker, ordered from UK-
Halsey Northwest of Sidney, B.C., traveled
across three continents before arriving on the
Oriole. This international endeavour began
in Germany where the cloth was made. It
was then sent to Hong Kong where it was
plotted and cut. On being returned to Europe,
the Canadian Naval Centennial Logo was
computer printed in Denmark. All the parts
were sent back to Hong Kong for assembly
and finally sent to HMC Dockyard in
Esquimalt, British Columbia to be delivered
to the historic HMCS Oriole.
At 88 years old, if Oriole could speak she
would be delighted with her new sail and the
Canadian Navy’s Centennial. She is, after all,
the oldest and longest commissioned ship in
the Canadian Navy. Oriole will display the
commemorative Centennial spinnaker now
through the Navy’s Centennial year, in 2010.
