The introduction sets aside about a minute for viewing Sackville in her preserved state. It asks viewers to imagine Halifax Harbour filled with dozens of Flower-class corvettes and the merchant ships they protected. Those escorts prepared for convoys, refitted, and carried out minesweeping and oceanographic duties. The surviving ship introduces the much larger fleet that once worked through the harbour.
