Warships of the Bay of Quinte

Roger Litwiller’s research for his book Warships of the Bay of Quinte will provide information for the production of a two-minute video vignette about the Hallowell family, whose name was given to land in Prince Edward County. It is this area of land that the Canadian Navy decided to name one of it’s frigates after, HMCS HALLOWELL. Details of this ship, the name and her history are all covered in detail in Roger’s book.
