After the BOI, it was determined that the GWENNITH was was fault and her skipper informed of the boards decision.  On 08 May, 1918, GWENNITH was transferred from Halifax to HMCS LANSDOWNE, the newly established RCN base at Sydney, NS. and operated from there until cessation of hostilities. After the war, GWENNITH was returned to Halifax.
