Comments
Bluenose II is a replica of the fishing and racing schooner Bluenose, commissioned by Sidney Culverwell Oland and built in 1963 as a promotional yacht for Oland Brewery. Sidney Oland donated the schooner to Nova Scotia in 1971 and it has since operated as a sailing ambassador and promotional device for Nova Scotia tourism. In honour of her predecessor's record, Bluenose II does not officially race.
The goal of the 1997-98 Bluenose II Canada Tour was to tell Canadians about a glorious story, highlighting the quest for excellence exemplified by the original Bluenose, and the courage of Atlantic Canada's fishermen in their sea-going dories on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, in the early years of the 20th century.
