On Friday, 16 August 1963, a platoon of SEA OWL sailors participated in a parade in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The parade was one of the many festivities commemorating the Gold Cup and Saucer Day. The following day, Saturday, 17 August 1963, SEA OWL embarked twenty-five dignitaries of Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island, including the Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable W. J. MacDonald, for a six hour cruise on Northumberland Strait. A series of dives were made while the crew escorted small groups of the dignitaries throughout SEA OWL compartments. Several thousand Prince Edward Island citizens visited SEA OWL during open house on
Friday through Sunday, 16 - 18 August 1963.
Many compliments were received concerning the smartness of the SEA OWL parade participants, the friendliness and knowledge of the crew during the cruise and open house and excellence of the food served during the cruise, and the orphans that were entertained at breakfast Saturday morning.
