The Bluenose II

• Bluenose II is known as Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador.
• She is a replica of the famous schooner Bluenose (c. 1921-46).
• She is 43.5 metres long and was launched from the Lunenburg shipyard of Smith and Rhuland in July, 1963.
• The speed of Bluenose II need not be compared to the original schooner, as she was not built to challenge the triumphs of her namesake, but to honour them.
