English: These concrete squares were placed here so naval ships could refuel, but they are no longer used, They could at least cleanup the old ropes etc, I guess governments only enforce rules on other people, not themselves! The cormorants seem to enjoy them now as a place to hang out.
HMCS Shelburne is a former military base that was located here and opened during World War II. This facility included a deepwater port and shore facilities including barracks and residences. On May 13, 1945 the commanding officer of U-889 (German Submarine), Kapitänleutnant Friedrich Braeucker formally surrendered to the RCN (Royal Canadian Navy) at HMCS Shelburne after being escorted there from Bay Bulls, Newfoundland on May 10 by (Her Majesty's Canadian Ship) HMCS Buckingham and HMCS Inch Arran. HMCS Shelburne was closed in 1946 as part of the RCN's post-World War II budget cuts and forces draw-down. The facility was converted into an industrial park with buildings sold for private use. The creation of NATO in 1949 coincided with the development of the SOSUS network (SOund SUrveillance System) by the United States Navy and later other NATO navies for monitoring submarines of Warsaw Pact navies. HMCS Shelburne became operational again on August 14, 1955 with the Commanding Officer of HMCS Shelburne being appointed the Officer-in-Charge of the Oceanographic Research Station (aka the NAVFAC). As such, HMCS Shelburne was also the first SOSUS station to not fall under direct command of the USN.
