This movie is about Perth, Ontario, Canada, not Perth, Western Australia.

Many thanks for a such a good look at Perth's past - and parts and events - from someone who's new to this area. It's a fascinating story of setting up a town in the "middle of nowhere" with such interesting water connections (and problems) and pioneering people. The story of the whole Rideau lands is fascinating!

I come from Ferriers (Abraham Ferrier 1807-1879 and was one of the original pioneers that were sent to survey the land north of rideau and was one of the people who after surveying that area drafted a letter to the lieutenant-Governer of Upper Canada, Sir Francis Gore asking to settle bay of quinte instead but that request was denied! And they were sent to settle the land north of Rideau) and McNaughtons (Duncan sr first and then Duncan jr, who had one of the original Mcnaughton farms on Mcnaughton shores. The hamlet of Tennyson was born on a corner of his property and he and his brother john were the first to settle there). Have a book that was my great grandfather Ira Duncan Mcnaughtons called The Pioneer History of Lanark County. Its so cool seeing family names in there and reading about their journey. Planning a trip to Perth now that theres even more to see for me history-wise❤ a very, very beautiful place so rich in history

Thanks for producing these films. Perth, my hometown. Growing up here was a wonderful experience & I enjoy return visits.My dad was Ed Grainger & he had a garage on Gore St.E. by our home. He also sold Studebakers in the late 50s, early 60s.My Mom Grace grew up in Perth from young childhood & maintained friendhips until her passing 11 years ago.Best wishes for continuing promoting the best small town on earth.

Very informative and nostalgic history of Perth over the last 200 years! My dad owned Grainger Motor Service first on Craig street next to the Last Duel park and finally Gore Street next to our home. Denny Marks and John McGenty spoke about the numerous service stations in the 1960’s but Dad built his business on auto and truck repairs and not so much on gas and oil. It was a wonderful town to raise a family with generous and friendly neighbors. Even though many will move on in later life I hope Perth continues to attract young people to do the same. Shout out to my high school friend Richard Schooley who continues to work and support the GWM hospital and Algonquin campus in Perth!❤

Bon Scott lived in Perth

My father ABS John H "Jack" Wietersen was an RCNVR and served aboard the HMCS Assiniboine I18 during World War 2. I've always been so very proud of him! I thank God he made it through all of that. He was the best Dad anyone could ever wish for. He passed away in 1996 and I miss him every single day. Love you Dad.

It was lots of fun doing this song Robert!!! I'm glad I could give you your own new snoring track!!! Brings back good memories of the fun I had that day with you and Sharon, recording a few songs!! Cheers to the music that makes the world go round!

Now Perth is a woken leftist utopia that puts tourists above the people who live and work there.

That is a GREAT song EXCELLENT work Sharon well done!

Cool song Rob well done!

Correction: Segment of The Marks Brothers. Not ‘Tom Marks’ - it was Ernie Marks, husband of Kitty, and my grandfather and grandmother 🙂

I was expecting Perth in Australia 🇦🇺 lol

I found you on band mix...I really like your guitar playing. Too bad your so far away. You got my like and sub!

Thank you for this video! It’s very important to have an account of our proud naval history and traditions. Note: I-18 HMCS Assiniboine (WW2) was a River Class Destroyer, not a Destroyer Escort. Again ,thank you very much for this important video!!

I thought this was Perth Australia

Where are the Australians? Asking for a friend

A wonderful documentary for those interested in the history of Canadian small towns.

My grandfather was on the ship and in the photo where the sailor is being buried at sea

thank you very much for keeping these stories alive, brave men, fighting each other one minute saving each other the next war eh.

Great to hear comments from 2 survivors 1 from the ship and 1 from the submarine a great insight into their views a bit off history to be appriciated by all

AWESOME story from the Battle of Atlantic time !!!! Conclusion of that should be like this: "Regular people of the nations ... they're NOT enemies at all !!!! Only their government makes them enemies to each other !!!! F_CK all over ambitious governments and all so stupid politicians of the World !!!! SCREW them all !!!!

I think the the sub captain automatically reacted like a destroyer sailor would.

Does any part of this series explain why the people there are so bitter and mean? Insecurity? Low self-esteem? Beyond defensive into attacking before you even say anything. Horrible people.

What a great example of putting it all on the line for freedom.

Better to die before you get this old. Best is never to be born to have to live through this meat grinder in the first place of course. #antinatalism

One of my favorite rides was the double ferris wheel and the top concerts every summer, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Duran Duran and many more!

I believe the HMCS Assiniboine was being towed by a surplus Corvette from Quebec to the US for scrap in November 1945 when she broke loose of her tow and ended up off East Point PEI. PEI shipwreck maps actually list and illustrate her as a wreck.

Hello Perth Canada and good wishes from Perth Australia 🇨🇦🇳🇿🙋🙋🙋🙋🌞🌞🌞🌞

There is another piece of history not covered in this video that needs to be told. CPO Max Bernays was in the wheelhouse beneath the bridge conning the ship at the time of the engagement. He ordered everyone out of the wheelhouse when the fire broke out and stayed behind to man the telegraph, engine order indicators and Helm. In the 35 minutes the battle raged, he answered more than130 orders from the bridge by himself. It is normally a three man job, but Max handled them all and should have won the VC for his refusal to abandon his post in spite of the threat to his life. He survived the war and died after a long career as a naval reservist on March 30th, 1974 a the age of 64.

Thank you for making this available.

My Grandfather was the signal-man on this ship when they rammed the u-boat. Thank You so much for the upload.

Thank you

Yes ... the low down her man... sinking innocent ships... innocent people.... that is what they did... can't fight fair... military to military...no not the ger man....no... started WW1. WW2.... DEFEATED both times... the ger man invaded other countries for the oil...gold...art...land... to build their ultimate empire to last 1000 years....NO..ger man....... but I know you will try again.......

A side note 1956-88 / DDH 234, (HMCS Assiniboine), was the first ship delivered post-war to the Royal Canadian Navy. She was first major class of warship designed and built in Canada . Bernays went on to command HMCS Assiniboine in 1978. "In honour of a true Canadian naval hero who exhibited outstanding leadership and heroism in the face of danger, the third of the RCN’s new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships will be named after Max Bernays." RCN

Excellent piece of history from a personal prospective. Thank you.

We need to bring it back Ottawa is sooo boring without it!!

My great great grandfather, Sutton Frizell, had a land grant and settled in Drummond Township in 1821. He emigrated with his mother, Suzannah, and brother, Richard, from Old Ross, Wexford, Ireland. The original homestead is on Tennyson Road and a significant amount of land was held by the Frizell's in that area.

This is fascinating to me. My great great grandfather Michael Lacey Cahill was a private in the British 19th Dragoons. He came with his family from Ireland to Perth in 1817 on a military land grant. By 1824 their crops had been consumed by grasshoppers, and they moved to Huntington Twp Carleton county (Ottawa) to the area of Shirley's Bay. Michael's wife Anne Shirley had a brother living there. Subsequently they moved to l'ile du Grand Calumet (Calumet Island) 60 miles up the Ottawa River where they settled permanently. For the next 200 years Cahills farmed on Calumet Island, near the village of Dunraven.

Excellent work, thank you.

Where can you watch the documentary in full?

I remember, going as a kid with my mom and grandma, they played a few rounds of bingo and my grandma won enough vouchers to get herself that nice dishes set, she loved she ended up, getting me that doll, I had my eyes on, instead then got me the unlimited pass cause I just loved the rides, then in my teens, would go with friends, ride all day and enjoy concerts, in the evening! I really miss those days!

The end got too depressing.

Thank you so much for your film. My father was a sailor on the Assiniboine during this battle and told me the story as a child. I have passed this on to my children and grandchildren who are excited to see it.

Great video! My father used to live in east point P.E.I, and told me about how when the tide was low, you could see parts of the ship sticking out of the water, it’s believed a bench from the mess hall was used in his old school house!

Thanks, Rob for your excellent video showing the story of HMCS Assiniboine and U-210. Vice-Admiral Ralph Hennessy and Hellmut Liebold are welcomed contributors for sharing their history, and Mrs. Diana Hennessy and Mark Wunderlich are to be congratulated for helping to make this complete. This story is one I am familiar with. The deceased 18 year old sailor OS Kenneth Watson was a shipmate and friend of my then 19 years old father OS Jim Hart RCNVR (seen on the left in the foreground as part of Ken’s burial at sea honour guard). Dad went on, after a five year hiatus following the war and re-enlisting in 1950, to be buffer of HMCS Ontario, Cox’n of other vessels, sailing on the Cordova, Beacon Hill, CPO of Restigouche training division at Cornwallis, and much more, and then having married one of the earliest group of Wrens (WRCNS began Oct.1942) who also saw duty in Halifax (where they met) during WWII, later supporting two boys (my having gone to school named after John Stubbs), my brother and me in sea cadets, and seeing myself in the RCNR (‘64 - ‘71) with HMCS Swansea, HMCS Crescent, HMCS Oriole, tug HMCS St. Charles, and other ships. We both ended our careers on HMCS Mackenzie with my dad being Chief Warrant Officer, and myself Leading Seaman/Corporal. The Assiniboine was a cherished lady in our home, and were it not for the success of the ship and her crew I would not be here to add to your story. Thanks, again Rob. Well done.

Getting rid of this was one of the biggest mistakes the city has made.
