	Bluenose - Nova Scotia Archives & Records Management
		From the day Bluenose was launched on 26 March 1921 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the Grand Banks fishing schooner has been a vessel larger-than-life, its sails cut and sewn with the fabric of legend, its crew a breed of rugged, hardy, seafaring men.
		Despite efforts to have the vessel preserved as a 'national institution', Bluenose was sold out-of-country and became a tramp schooner in the Caribbean; it was wrecked off Haiti in 1946, but never forgotten.
		Both Bluenose and its successor have always been larger-than-life, both iconic and mysterious in the pull they exert over those who are intrigued by the sea and the seafaring experience.

	bluenose
		Bluenose was launched on March 27, 1921, and within a month ballasted, masted, rigged and equipped and ready for her role as a salt bank fisherman.
		The lifetime of the Bluenose was not all glory: she been worked hard, she had run aground off Newfoundland, sustaining substantial damage, and on several occasions was heavily damaged in bad storms at sea.
		Although there are a number of drawings and ship model kits of Bluenose sold today, in comparison with the original hull lines drawings of her designer, William Roue, which my drawings are based on, it is my premise that most are probably not as accurate as claimed to be.

		Captain Angus Walters (1882-1962) was the owner and captain of "Bluenose", and the driving force behind the fund-raising.
		Seventy years after the first stamp bearing the "Bluenose" was issued, Canada Post honoured her designer with a stamp of his own.

	R/C Bluenose II by Billy Shaw
		The Bluenose II kit is probably the smallest true scale rendition I'd seriously consider modifying for sailing use.
		The Bluenose II was built in Canada to celebrate the memory of the original Bluenose, itself a prominent early twentieth century fishing-turned-racing sailboat.
		Their kit for the original Bluenose is in fact considerably larger than their Bluenose II; it is suspected that their larger kit would be more suited to an R/C adaptation.
