Camp Norway by Jon Satrum
When Germany invaded Norway in 1940, Norway had over 1,000 ships at sea which were ordered to go to a "British or Allied port". During the spring and summer of 1940, seven factory ships and 22 or 23 whale catchers with upwards of 2,000 men on board arrived in Halifax. These whaling ships were converted into patrol vessels and mine sweepers for the Royal Norwegian Navy.
After conversion, the ships needed less men--they couldn't go home; they couldn't come ashore and they weren't needed at sea. Norwegian authorities built and paid for a camp where the unemployed whalers would live under Norwegian military control. On September 2nd 1940, the Norwegians moved to Lunenburg and were housed in the curling rink while the camp was being constructed. They did a lot of the work themselves since they had carpenters, pipefitters and other tradesmen in their whaling crews. The camp, called "Camp Norway", was officially opened on Friday, Nov 29th, 1940, and consisted of a barracks to house about 800
