Description
The Bluenose was a Canadian racing schooner designed by William J Roue and built by Smith & Rhuland, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She was launched in 1921 with a complement of 28. The name “Bluenose” originated as a nickname for Nova Scotians. She was designed specifically to race for the International Trophy, a prize established by W.H. Dennis, publisher of the Halifax Herald. Her first skipper was Angus Walters, one of the most successful fishermen on the Grand Banks. In the first International Fishermen’s trophy race held in 1920, the Bluenose beat the Elsie and thus returned the trophy to Nova Scotia. The Bluenose kept the trophy for the next 17 years. She was not only a racer but also a fishing craft. Measures 2 feet x4"x21". Weight 3 pds.
