She was the Mother of the Fleet. No money, no problem, you got feed.
The "restaurant" was just before the Dockyard Center Gate so it was very busy when the bars closed.
I remember in the late 70's some idiot decided to rob her place past midnight thinking it would be safe... Both the MP and HRP waited for all the sailors to leave before going in and transfer him to the Emergency Department at the QEII Halifax Infirmary. Apparently there was no witness to what happened
