The NCSM Onondaga is Canada's first publicly accessible submarine and is part of the Site historique maritime de Pointe-au-Père, along with the Pointe-au-Père lighthouse and the Empress of Ireland museum.
It served for the Atlantic Royal Canadian Navy in Halifax from 1967 to 2000 along with it's two other twins. After decommission, it was saved from the scrap in extremis then towed to Rimouski in 2008 to be a permanent exhibit as a maritime museum.
