Royal Naval College of Canada was founded in Halifax in 1910, the same year as the Royal Canadian Navy was established.

History

Upon its founding, Edward Atcherley Eckersall Nixon would co-command the facility alongside retired Captain Edward Harrington Martin.

The Halifax Explosion forced the college to be relocated, initially to Kingston, Ontario in 1918, but soon thereafter to Esquimalt, on the Western Coast of Canada.

The college was formally closed in 1922 by act of the Canadian Parliament.
