All participants are required to wear closed-toed shoes, and all provided protective gear provided by Parks Canada, including hearing and eye protection.
Only trained personnel are allowed to handle gunnery equipment. Participants must not touch or operate any equipment unless explicitly instructed by staff. Failure to comply with staff instructions may result in the participants removal from the experience.
Participants will navigate the ship via a series of hatches, narrow passageways, raised thresholds, and steep ladders. Be aware of deck surfaces that can be slippery when wet and watch out for low overhead clearance.
