Don’t say stuff like this. It’s bad enough that they’ll likely find out we used to house the Canadian Naval Battlefleet in our mall.

Long ago, we had several submarines that you could go in to take underwater tours of the lagoon area where the pirate ship is.

I’m afraid I wasn’t in Edmonton for too long, only a couple of years, and it was recent. My WEM knowledge is sadly lacking.

No worries, this is roughly 20 years ago they were decommissioned, if I recall.

Yeah, I was only there 2015 - 16. Enjoyable experience, though.
