 A few links of interest to one of the ship's Richard's father sailed on during ww2.

Good to see there are some full crew B&W photos available from one of the posters on U-Boat .com.

I’m looking for any stories of the Cobalt from surviving crew members
or their family/friends. I also have a few pictures of the same ship that are
not to be found anywhere on the net or books if anyone is interested. Some pictures are also of the entire crew. Very good quality btw.

A post script to my previous message - my website on the Cobalt is now posted, at the address above. I've still not got it linked into my main menus, but you can get there. Comments, suggestions and contributions are welcome.

I have a website about the mining town of Cobalt, in northern Ontario. As a sort of tangent to that site, I am putting together a page about the HMCS Cobalt. It will be posted shortly at:

http://www.cobaltmininglegacy.ca/HMCS_Cobalt.php
I think it will be the only page on the web dedicated to the Cobalt. Any contributions of information to help tell more of the story about the Cobalt would be greatly appreciated.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
