Although quiet, the sail proved far too slow a means of propulsion to be useful in combat and, obviously, could be seen from miles away. The retrofit, however, also proved to be a financial waste as diesel engines became the preferred method of propulsion. Eventually retired as an embarrassing example of government extravagance, she did manage to recoup some of her costs serving for a time as a dry-docked submarine museum near Rimouski.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kevin MacLean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868866982120,"sku":"KM063","price":295.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/6588\/6952\/files\/image2_04d5337c-654f-4c6f-ae77-bf9439090dbc.jpg?v=1786209124"},{"product_id":"hms-thrummer","title":"HMS Thrummer","description":"\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin MacLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOceanwood, wire, surplus\/obsolete hardware, found objects, watch parts, and metal scraps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6\" x 10.5\" x 1.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe THRUMMER was a tiny submersible with a displacement of a mere 10 cubic metres.
