The original Bluenose was launched in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, in 1921 as a working Grand Banks fishing schooner—and a racing vessel. That same year, she won the International Fishermen’s Trophy. For the next 17 years, no American or Canadian challenger managed to take it from her. She became known as the “Queen of the North Atlantic,” and her image has appeared on the Canadian dime since 1937. Then, in 1946, Bluenose struck a reef off Haiti and was lost. But the story didn’t end there. In 1963, Bluenose II was launched from Lunenburg. Remarkably, she was built at the same shipyard and by many of the same people who had worked on the original. Original designer William Roué endorsed the new vessel, and legendary Bluenose captain Angus Walters joined her maiden voyage. The project had originally been financed by Oland Brewery as a promotional vessel. In 1971, Bluenose II was gifted to the Government of Nova Scotia. #sea #sailing #ship #history

Leg 3 to Sanya. Day 13. While the fleet keeps struggling with the lack of wind, the sunrise brought considerable gains to Team SCA.
