Historical Legacy

The original Bluenose was constructed as both a fishing vessel and racing schooner, representing Canadian maritime excellence in the early 20th century. After a distinguished career balancing competitive sailing victories with the demanding work of the fishing industry, the original vessel met its end in 1946. The Bluenose II, built in 1964, serves as a faithful replica and continues to sail today as an ambassador for the city of Lunenberg and Canadian maritime heritage.
