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

The X-Mini Capsule series are designed for portability for portable devices such as iPod's and iPhone's. The X-Minis in the video are all built with rechargeable batteries inside (with up to 12 hrs of playback) and because they all incorporate USB you can charge of any device with a USB electric current. It's very cool but unusual feature called 'buddy jack' which by it's design allows you to connect a row of X-Minis for an amazing amount of sound.
