	Unterseeboot 190 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The minesweeper HMCS Esquimault was conducting a routine patrol of the harbor.
		She was employing none of the mandatory anti-submarine precautions: she was not zig-zagging; she had not streamed her towed decoy, designed as a countermeasure against Gnat torpedoes; she had turned off her radar.
		Esquimault sank so rapidly, however, that no distress signals were sent, and no one knew of the sinking until some eight hours later when HMCS Sarnia first discovered the survivors.

		Baynes arrived in Ganges at Esquimault on 17 Oct. 1858 and was among the official party at Fort Langley when the new colony of British Columbia was proclaimed on 19 Nov. 1858.
		With winter approaching, however, the miners were leaving for California and Baynes was able to report to the Admiralty that all was quiet.
		As John T. Walbran* put it, “Neither the provocation of his enemies nor the rashness of his friends would allow him to hurry into ill-considered action, though he had an ample force to have prevented them landing or to effect their capture afterwards.” Douglas’ policy, Baynes said, would have resulted in war.

		Early on the morning of April 16 the Boat was sitting in a favourite spot off the Sambro light ship when a pinging on the hull indicated that her position was being picked up by asdic signals from a vessel on the surface.
		And when the Esquimault suddenly turned towards them and headed directly towards their periscope they were convinced that an attack was being made.
		Painted in bright red and yellow longitudinal stripes, U-190 was towed to the spot where it had sunk HMCS Esquimault, and where at precisely 1100 hours on 21 October 1947 the tradition-bound RCN intended to celebrate Nelson's "glorious" Trafalgar Day victory over the French fleet in 1805 by pounding the empty hulk into the depths.

		We are not aware whether any advertisements were published by the British Columbia Government, under the authority of the Legislature, or otherwise, for this purpose, nor whether they have called the attention of capitalists to the quantity of land to be given in aid of said railway.”
		The chief Government member vouching for the Esquimault and Nanaimo Railway Bill seems to have been Minister of Railways John Henry Pope who, as we have seen, had been a personal beneficiary of railway and other charters.
		When the original Esquimault and Nanaimo Railway Bill was introduced, Charlton stated, Pope said it was “ all right,” and it was rushed through.
