Built to Race

The Bluenose was launched at Lunenburg , Nova Scotia in 1921. It was named with the common nickname – first used by T.C. Haliburton – applied to those born in Nova Scotia .

The schooner was designed by William J. Roue to fish for cod on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland , at a time when such work was done from the decks of wooden tall-ships powered by sail. The Bluenose was also designed to race on the open ocean. It was the first time the self-taught Roue had designed a working fishing schooner, rather than a recreational or racing vessel.

Speed was essential to both of the Bluenose’s tasks. Obviously, the faster boat wins the race, but the faster fishing vessel also gets back to port quickest, guaranteeing its crew will get the best price for its catch.

Victor Cavendish , the governor general of Canada, travelled to Lunenburg to drive the golden spike that would mark the ship’s completion. He swung the big iron hammer at the spike, but failed to connect – he’d just been to another function and evidently enjoyed a bit too much drink. Someone else helped him out, and the spike was finally driven.

Queen of the North Atlantic

Skippered by Captain Angus J. Walters against the fastest American schooners, many of them from Gloucester, Massachusetts, the Bluenose crew set its sights on winning the International Fishermen’s Race. The event pitted working fishermen in their regular schooners, competing for the Fishermen’s Trophy.

The Bluenose achieved that goal, and more. It won the Trophy – emblematic of the sailing championship of the fishing fleets of the northwest Atlantic – in 1921, 1922 and 1923. Its only defeat was by the Boston schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud in the Lipton Cup in 1930, but it outraced the Thebaud for the Fisherman's Trophy in 1931 and 1938.

The Bluenose also held the record for the largest catch of fish brought into Lunenburg.

Nicknamed the "Queen of the North Atlantic," the Bluenose represented Nova Scotia around the world. It appeared at the Chicago World Fair in 1933 and crossed the Atlantic to England in 1935 to attend the silver jubilee of King George V.

Caribbean Grave

Despite its international fame, the Bluenose came to an ignominious end. As the salt fishery declined, and sailing schooners were replaced by engine-powered ships on the Grand Banks , the Bluenose was sold in 1942 to the West Indies Trading Company. Captain Walters , the ship's last Nova Scotian owner, stood at the waterfront in Lunenburg and wept as the Bluenose sailed away for the last time.

In the Caribbean, the Bluenose carried rum, sugar, bananas and war supplies to the United States. The ship had a close call while running aviation fuel and dynamite near Havana, Cuba, when a German U-boat surfaced right beside it. The submarine captain asked the Bluenose captain what he was doing – he answered that he was fishing. According to one account, the German recognized the Bluenose and let it sail off.

In 1946, while hauling freight near Haiti, the Bluenose hit a reef and sank.

Namesake Replica

Twenty years after the original Bluenose sank, people in her home port of Lunenburg decided to build a replica of the great schooner. The Oland Brewery paid for the project and used the ship to advertise its beer.

The Bluenose II was built in the same Smith and Rhuland shipyards in Lunenburg as the original, and was launched in 1963 amid nostalgia for the lost golden age of sail. The builders used Roue’s original plans, with some minor alterations. Captain Walters sailed on the maiden voyage.

In 1971, the Bluenose II was given as a gift to the province of Nova Scotia. It began its life as Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador, based in Lunenburg, but regularly travelling to represent the province, and carrying tourists on day cruises.

Second Rebuild

In 2009, the Nova Scotia government decided to restore the aging, 50-year-old Bluenose II . The ship was suffering badly from "hogging" – which happens when the hull becomes distorted due to the the up-pressing water and the downward pull of gravity.

In 2010, many were surprised to learn that the project appeared to be less a restoration than a complete re-build of virtually a new ship. Almost the entire Bluenose II schooner had been put through a wood chipper and dumped in a landfill. The only preserved parts were the rudder, the boom and part of the prow. The Lunenburg Shipyard Alliance, the group handling the work, said it still qualified as a rebuild, and not an entirely new boat.

After lengthy delays, the rebuilt Bluenose II was launched into Lunenburg harbour in the spring of 2015. The work was years later, and several million dollars over budget. The province's sailing ambassador – a reminder of the original icon – resumed regular duties in June 2015.

In 1937, artist Emanuel Hahn’s sculptured profile of the Bluenose was stamped on the Canadian dime.

Did you know? The Bluenose was the first non-human inductee in Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame . The Bluenose and Captain Angus J. Walters were inducted in 1955.

Later, in 1978, the Bluenose would be further immortalized in a song of the same name, by folk music legend Stan Rogers .

In 2021, the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post released commemorative coins and stamps to mark the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Bluenose. The Royal Canadian Mint issued Canada’s first-ever coloured dimes designed by the Nova Scotian artist Yves Bérubé. These commemorative dimes are doubled-dated “1921-2021.” Meanwhile, Canada Post released a new pair of se-tenant (joined) stamps to mark the 100th anniversary of the schooner’s launch. These stamps feature the art of Michael Little, who drew inspiration from the paintings of William E. deGarthe.

The Bluenose

The Bluenose , launched on March 26, 1921, became a symbol of shipbuilding excellence.

Written by Mark Collin Reid

Today it’s a national icon featured on the Canadian dime and a symbol of Nova Scotia’s legacy of shipbuilding excellence.

But on the brisk and blustery morning of March 26, 1921, the newly launched Bluenose entered the waters off Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, carrying the hopes and aspirations of an entire province. That was because the sleek schooner had been created with one purpose in mind — to defeat the swift New England schooners that at the time dominated the international sailing circuit.

Bluenose was designed by William J. Roué, a local marine architect, built by Smith & Rhuland Shipyard of Lunenberg, and captained by local sailor Angus Walters. A working schooner, Bluenose and its crew headed to the Grand Banks off Newfoundland to fish in the summer of 1921, all the while focusing on the schooner’s first major test — the International Fishermen’s Race slated for October of that year.

Bluenose not only found glory at that race but went on to dominate international sailing racing for the next decade.

In the 1930s, the vessel found further fame, representing Canada at the 1933 world’s fair in Chicago and taking part in the 1935 silver jubilee of King George V. Here, it’s seen winning the final leg of the 1938 International Fishermen’s Trophy series to capture the championship over the American schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud , which sailed out of Massachusetts.

Sadly, there was one opponent Bluenose could not defeat — time. With the age of sail at an end, Bluenose was fitted with diesel engines and sold in 1942 to ply the waters as a tramp schooner in the Caribbean. It was reported that Captain Walters stood on the dock at Lunenberg and wept as his newly sold ship departed Nova Scotia for the final time.

In 1946, during a January squall, it ran aground on a coral reef and then sank off the coast of Haiti.

In 1963, a replica of the schooner was built. Gifted to the province of Nova Scotia in 1971, Bluenose II continues to act as an ambassador both for the province and for Canada.

• History Of The Bluenose Schooner

Nova Scotia, Canada, 19 19

That tiny article in a 1919 newspaper inspired Dennis and other Halifax businessmen to create “The Halifax Herald North Atlantic Fisherman’s International Competition” between real working schooners. Over the next decades the Fisherman’s Trophy races would thrill the world and make one Nova Scotia boat, the Bluenose, an enduring symbol of the Maritime spirit.

The contenders for the trophy were the fishermen who worked the Grand Banks, sailing out for six weeks to two months to haul in cod and store their catch below in salt. Lunenburg, Nova Scotia was the home of the greatest deep-sea fishing fleet in the world, and proud of its shipbuilding and fishing heritage. Its rival was Gloucester, Massachusetts, which shared the same kind of pride. In fact, many of the Gloucester skippers had been born in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. For generations, the “Yanks” and the “Novies” had delighted in racing each other to the fishing grounds. The prospect of formalizing those races excited both towns.

In truth, the great days of the saltbank schooners were reaching their close by 1919. A third of Nova Scotia’s wooden ships had been sunk by German submarines in the First World War. Half of the vessels clearing port in Halifax were steam-powered now, and with the price of salt cod falling, it looked like the days of sail were numbered. But tradition dies hard in the Maritimes, and the Grand Banks still teemed with fish. In spite of the backbreaking work, the freezing conditions, the everyday threat of shipwreck and drowning, and the slim wages (paid as shares of the catch), boys still dreamed of manning the wheel of an eight-sailed schooner and taking her through a North Atlantic gale, the hold packed tight with fish. The Fisherman’s Cup was a last opportunity to demonstrate the glory and courage of the schooner fleets to the world.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, 19 20

The elimination races to determine the Canadian entry for the first Fisherman’s Trophy were held outside Halifax harbour on October 11, 1920. An excited crowd watched as the Delawana, skippered by Captain Tommy Himmelman, fought for the lead with the Gilbert B. Walters under Captain Angus Walters. On the last leg of the race, the topmast of the Gilbert B. Walters broke. The Delawana won the honour of representing Canada by five minutes, but talk around Halifax was about the brilliant tactics of Captain Walters. The Delawana faced the Yankee Esperanto for the Cup a week later. The trim American schooner, under Nova Scotia-born Captain Marty Welch, beat the Canadian in two out of three races and sailed back to Gloucester with the trophy and $4,000 Canadian dollars.

Nova Scotia pride was bruised that day, and plans for revenge were soon brewing. Senator Dennis and his moneyed Halifax friends decided to build a craft that would not only beat the Americans, but would be a symbol of Nova Scotian sailing superiority. They would name her Bluenose, after the traditional nickname for Nova Scotians, and they would pay whatever was necessary to make her Canadian sailing royalty.

But before they even commissioned a design, they recruited the best captain they could find – Angus Walters of Lunenburg. Unlike most schooner captains, Walters was a small, wiry man, but he was unmatched for his ability to size up the wind and squeeze speed out of every inch of sail. And he was as tough as they came: a tongue-lashing from Captain Walters could send the biggest hand below. Walters drove a hard bargain. He wanted the largest share in the Bluenose, which would give him the final word in her construction and management.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, March 19 21

Angus got his deal, yacht designer William Roue drew up plans, and the Lunenburg yard of Smith & Rhuland began construction. When she was launched on March 26, 1921, all on hand agreed that the blue-black schooner was a beauty. To the experienced eye, the Bluenose had a few distinctive features, but the source of her speed was always a matter of debate. Was it because she was a trifle longer at the waterline than most schooners? Or that her timbers had been hardened by a particularly hard frost? Maybe her speed was the result of the magical relationship that developed between the craft and her captain.

Before she raced, the Bluenose had to prove herself on the Grand Banks. The rules of the Fisherman’s Competition demanded that any entrant work at least one season in the fishery. Besides, the Bluenose had to pay her own way – she was a fishing schooner, not a racing yacht. Today, with Atlantic cod stocks threatened, it is almost inconceivable that during the first decades on this century over one billion pounds of cod were caught each year on the Grand Banks. The Bluenose had a good first season, and she would more than prove her worth in subsequent years, landing a record 646,000 pounds in one haul in 1923.

Halifax, October 19 21

At the end of that first season, in October 1921, the Bluenose sailed into Halifax harbour to test her speed against the finest Canadian schooners. The winner would face the American champion in the second Fisherman’s Trophy challenge. The Bluenose’s speed matched her beauty: she won two races handily.

She met the Elsie for the trophy. The American schooner was skippered by the same Marty Welch who had won the first Fisherman’s series. The two boats flew around the 40-mile course in strong wind. On the first day, the Elsie lost her fore-topmast. Gallantly, Angus Walters doused his own balooner, and still finished thirteen minutes ahead. In the next race, Bluenose completed the course with a lead of three miles. The news flashed by radio across the country: the Bluenose had brought the trophy home! Canada had beaten the U.S.! Overnight, the Bluenose became a national symbol.

Lunenburg, 19 23

The next year, the Bluenose retained the trophy against the Henry Ford. A fourth challenge, in 1923, was marred by a collision on the course, protests, and controversy. Angus Walters refused to complete the competition, taking the Bluenose home to Lunenburg rather than submitting to the judges’ rulings.

His opponent, Captain Ben Pine of the Columbia, would not accept the Fisherman’s Trophy when it was offered to him. He had not beaten the Bluenose legitimately, and he would not take the prize.

Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA, 19 30

Years passed. The last series had soured the competition. Besides, the Depression had hit North America, nowhere harder than the Maritimes. Fishermen stuck to their work, trying to eke out a living. There was little spirit left for racing. Then, in 1930, Ben Pine travelled up to Lunenburg with a proposition. The Thomas Lipton Tea Company would put up prize money to see the Bluenose race against the Gertrude L. Thebaud, the new American favourite. Walters hemmed and hawed, but he showed up in Gloucester for the race. The Bluenose was in poor shape, her sails old and loose. For the first time, she lost a series. Americans crowed, but at least they had not won the cherished trophy.

A year later, the two boats met for the rematch, this time with the Fisherman’s Trophy on the line. The Bluenose rose to the challenge, winning convincingly in both races. “The wood ain’t growin’ yet that’ll beat Bluenose,” Angus Walters loved to say.

The wood ain’t growin’ yet that’ll beat Bluenose.

Angus Walters

England, 19 35

Bluenose sailed to England in 1935 as Canada’s representative in the celebration of the twenty-fifth year of George V’s reign. The king was impressed by the Canadian beauty. On the way home, however, Bluenose encountered the worst storm of the many she had faced over the years. She keeled over and stayed down a full five minutes, masts and all. Then, with a shudder, the great boat righted herself again. Walters denied that he had ever doubted her strength. Her legend now included rising from the grave.

Canada, 19 38

In 1937, the Bluenose was reproduced on the Canadian dime, where she has been ever since. Her last and greatest moment of sailing glory came in 1938. Bluenose faced the Gertrude L. Thebaud again for the trophy, this time in a best-of-five series. At the end of four tight races, the series stood 2-2. The Bluenose suffered damages, and began to look her age, but as she rounded the last marker of the deciding race, Angus pleaded, “One more time old girl, just one more time,” and Bluenose responded, winning the last Fisherman’s Trophy race by three minutes.

Her average speed over the course was 14.15 knots, the fastest pace ever recorded over a fixed course by a canvased vessel in the history of sailing!

One more time, old girl, just one more time!

Angus Walters, 1938​

Haiti, 19 46

The final years of the Bluenose were sad ones. Powered vessels, steel hulls, and the demise of the schooner fishery made her a relic of a former age. Angus Walters tried to have her declared a national treasure and borrowed money to keep her afloat, but he was finally forced to sell her. She spent the war years carrying freight in the Carribbean. Then, on January 28, 1946, word reached Nova Scotia that the Bluenose had struck a reef off the coast of Haiti. Angus Walters wanted to fly to Haiti to direct salvage operations, but news was mixed, misinformation and confusion prevented action, and the Bluenose went down. No one has ever found as much as a splinter of the wreckage.

That is not quite the last chapter in the Bluenose story, however.

Halifax, 19 63.

In the early sixties, the Halifax brewery that bottled “Schooner Beer” put up money to recreate the Bluenose as a tourist attraction and provincial symbol. The Smith & Rhuland shipyard once again layed her keel, and in July 1963, Bluenose II was launched. Angus Walters was aboard her maiden voyage to the West Indies. Well into his eighties, he took the wheel. He silently studied the feel of the new Bluenose in the water and listened to the wind in her sails, as if searching for an echo. Finally, he told the hushed group that surrounded him, “She’s a wery fine wessel.”

She’s a wery fine wessel .

Angus Walters, 1963

Captain Angus Walters died in 1968, but Bluenose II is still afloat, her home port Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She remains a beautiful reminder of the greatest schooner of all time.

First-ever blue dimes commemorate 100th anniversary of Bluenose

You could soon have a little splash of blue in your pocket, with a new dime from the Royal Canadian Mint commemorating a national icon.

The Mint is launching Canada’s first-ever coloured dimes to commemorate the 100 th anniversary of Bluenose, the famous fishing schooner that graces the coins.

The Mint has also redesigned the image of the schooner for the first time since it appeared on Canada’s 10-cent coin in 1937. The new design is by Nova Scotia marine artist Yves Bérubé.

“We are thrilled to commemorate the 100 th anniversary of Bluenose with a new design that will circulate from coast to coast to coast as we reaffirm our pride in an enduring icon of Canadian know-how and innovation,” Royal Canadian Mint president and CEO Marie Lemay said in a news release.

Bluenose launched from Lunenberg, N.S. in March 1921 and became an important Canadian symbol during the following 25 years, becoming known as the ‘Queen of the North Atlantic.’

In a news release, the Mint called the coloured version of the coin a “groundbreaking first for a 10-cent circulation coin.” It features blue paint to highlight the deep waters of the North Atlantic, the release said.

Six million coloured versions of the coin with the new Bluenose design are being circulated, as well as an additional nine million uncoloured versions.

The coins are also double-dated ‘1921-2021’ in recognition of the anniversary. They begin circulating today.

Canada's New Colourful Dime Is Out Now & Here's How You Can Get It

You might spot the new 10 cent coin in your change soon! 💰

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bluenose, Canada's new dime is out now and there are ways you can get your hand on the 10 cent coin.

The Royal Canadian Mint has made 6 million coloured versions — with the water beneath the ship in different shades of blue — and 9 million uncoloured versions of the new dime for circulation all over the country.

See on Instagram

This marks the first time since Bluenose was put on the dime in 1937 that its image has been redesigned and the first time in Canadian history that the 10 cent coin has had colour on it.

The dimes were put into circulation on October 22 and the Mint has told Narcity that as businesses and banks all over Canada order new stock, the colourful new dime will gradually start to appear in circulation.

So when you pay with cash at businesses, you could get the new coin in the change that you're given back or you could find it in rolls of dimes you get from banks.

You might not get one right away though; the Mint said new coin orders are typically done at random, so it's normal for coins to begin showing in different parts of the country at different times.

If you can't wait for the new dime to make its way into your change, you can actually buy it online. The Mint is selling a collector keepsake and a wrap-roll set.

Why is there a sailboat on the Canadian dime?

The beaver is a symbol of Canada because that animal was very important to the country's early economy. Trappers went across the country to hunt them and bring back the pelts for use in clothing.

That is a Bluenose schooner. It is on the reverse side of the coin. A schooner is a type of sailing vessel characterized by the use of fore-and-aft sails on two or more masts with the forward mast being no taller than the rear masts.

It is the Bluenose was a Canadian fishing and racing schooner from Nova Scotia built in 1921. She was later commemorated by a replica Bluenose II built in 1963. A celebrated racing ship and hard-working fishing vessel, Bluenose became a provincial icon for Nova Scotia as well as important Canadian symbol in the 1930s. The name "bluenose" originated as a nickname for Nova Scotians from as early as the late eighteenth century. And On January 28, 1946 she foundered on a reef off the coast of Haiti and sank. L
