This is a waterside video taken from a Lunenburg and District Fire Department rescue boat. The ship being launched is the iconic Canadian schooner, Bluenose II. She is the sailing ambassador for this beautiful Town, her people, the Province of Nova Scotia and Canada. So fabled is the original Bluenose, launched in 1921, that its image graces the Canadian dime.
Fame came to the original Bluenose when she out-raced the schooners from the New England States. Capt. Angus Walters, the revered sailor who could find the best in every inch of sail, was known to be a canny racer who drew on years of experience of his own and his hand-picked crew.
Come to Lunenburg the home port of the Bluenose. See if she is in port and enjoy this Town, her people and the magical place we love and call home.Visit the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic to see detailed records of the sailing past and the history which gave birth to the fishing fleet from which Bluenose came.
