A visit to HMCS Haida showed how the Friends support people as well as the ship. When visitors were struggling to find suitable food, a volunteer bought ingredients and prepared something they could safely eat. The recollection also singles out the volunteers responsible for the engines and the care they brought to their work aboard the ship. Their practical kindness helps explain why preserving a museum ship depends on a committed community as well as the surviving hull.
