Our Pride - Bluenose II
It's hard to imagine that on March 26th in 1921, those present on the shore of Lunenburg knew what would come of the day's festivities. They were there to launch the Bluenose. What they set in motion was a legacy that continues to this day.
Who could have predicted that Bluenose would become the pride of Nova Scotia — an undefeated racing champion and Canadian icon? Perhaps those who built the unmatched vessel had an inkling. In time, all would come to revere the legendary Grand Banks fishing schooner.
Today, the spirit and history live on in Bluenose II. As Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador, Bluenose II is a proud representative of our province and our maritime heritage. The story continues on the Lunenburg Waterfront.
