Fulmar flies in again



The French naval patrol vessel Fulmar arrived this morning and tied up at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. The former trawler is assigned to St-Pierre et Miquelon and makes yearly courtesy calls to Halifax.

Last year's July 10, 2010 visit [see http://shipfax.blogspot.com/2010/07/close-calls-in-harbour.html] was somewhat lacking in the courtesy department, when the vessel sailed without a pilot (perhaps on the basis of unofficial advice from someone in the Canadian navy.) I am sure there will be no repeat of that incident this time round.
