Artesania #22453 Bluenose II Schooner
Built in 1963, the Bluenose II is the last of the Tall Schooners. She’s an exact replica of the original Bluenose, a Canadian fishing schooner that outraced New England’s fastest fishing vessels in the Twenties and Thirties, landed record catches of fish, and even ran rum during Prohibition!
This wooden boat kit is highly realistic with many fine details.
The schooner Bluenose has a very special place in the history of navigation and yachting. Built to fish off the Newfoundland coast, the ship soon turned out to be such a fast sailer that she won all the great classical regattas along the USA's Eastern coast. She was built in Nova Scotia in 1921, and shipwrecked near Haiti in 1946. A true copy - Bluneose II - was launched in 1964
