Bluenose the Lunenburg schooner a legend of the Atlantic
The Bluenose, fastest of Lunenburg Nova Scotia's fleet, captained by Angus Walters, is celebrated as a symbol of Canadian seamanship. From its 1921 launch to historic wins on the Fisherman's Trophy circuit, the vessel embodied the era of cod fishing on the Grand Banks and the transition from traditional dory work to powered nets before the 1938 final race. The tale closes with Bluenose's decline and sale, yet its memory endures in maritime lore and local pride.
