Sean E. Livingston is a Naval Reserve officer with the CAF, as well as a teacher and Sea Cadet instructor. For over a decade, he has researched and promoted the history of HMCS Oakville, keeping its memory and story alive. His book Oakville’s Flower<\/a> has just released and it is a must read!
\nSean: <\/strong>Oakville\u2019s Flower: The History of HMCS Oakville tells the story of a Second World War Corvette that was christened in, and named after, the town of Oakville.\u00a0 Despite its exciting naval career, and the valour displayed by its crew during the war, memory of the ship and its heroic deeds was all but forgotten.\u00a0 The book reveals the deep connection the people of Oakville had with their namesake warship, a unique bond that stirred deep feelings of patriotism, loyalty, and love.\u00a0 Oakville\u2019s Flower not only brings to light the story of this ship and the community that supported her, but also reveals how its memory is being kept alive in the community from which it is named.\u00a0 It is more than just a history of a ship \u2013 it is a revelation of how Canadians, both at sea and at home, did their part when the world was in crisis.\u00a0\u00a0 Although the book will naturally be a pleasure for fans of naval history, it is a story anyone can read and appreciate.\u00a0 I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
