Book Overview
Noted author and sailor Silver Donald Cameron offers an intimate and affection portrait of the most famous Nova Scotian ships ever built. The Bluenose was the fastest working schooner ever built--pride of Nova Scotia's great fishing captains and shipbuilders. Launched in 1921, that same year she captured the International Fishermen's Trophy from the Americans. She never lost it. Between races, Bluenose was a working schooner, fishing for cod off Sable Island and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Bluenose II is a replica of the famed schooner from Lunenburg, and has had her share of adventures as well. From his own encounter with Bluenose II , from the memories of men who knew Angus Walters, and from the trials and tribulations of Bluenose and Bluenose II , Silver Donald Cameron has crafted a fine adventure story that does full justice to Nova Scotia's two legendary schooners.
