About the Bluenose 20''

Bluenose is a Canadian schooner from Nova Scotia. Its name originated as a nick-name for Nova Scotians. Bluenose was designed by William Roue and built by Smith and Rhuland.On March 26, 1921, Bluenose was launched at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia as a racing ship and fishing vessel (it was ordinarily a fishing schooner and was later found to have racing qualities when it was skippered by its captain, Angus Walters). In 1995, Bluenose, together with its captain, Angus Walters, were inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, making Bluenose the first and only non-human CSHF inductee until 1960. Another honor was bestowed upon the famous Bluenose when a new Canadian National Railways passenger-vehicle ferry for the inaugural Yarmouth-Bar Harbor service was launched as the M/V Bluenose.

In the 1930s, Bluenose reinvented itself as a showboat, trading on its fame and visibility, available for public cruises and other advertising opportunities. But after 1938, Bluenose was sold out- of-country and became a tramp schooner n the Caribbean. In 1946, Bluenose was wrecked off Haiti but it was never forgotten.
