Until 1910, Canada did not have its own navy, relying on the might of the British Empire. After having created its own navy, Canada purchased two ships from Great Britain. The first of which was HMCS Niobe, arriving in Halifax on October 21st 1910. This date was not chosen at random. It was the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the main holiday of British sailors who initially trained the Canadians. Canada celebrated Trafalgar Day until 2014, when it decided to mark October 21st as Niobe Day.
