Tall
Ships - Bluenose
Lunenburg is known as home of the
tall ships because there is always at
least
one in the harbour. Tall ships are attracted to the town because they
can find
people with the skills they need to refit their vessels. Many famous
ships have
been built in Lunenburg and the many visiting tall ships keep the
tradition of
shipbuilding and repair alive to the delight of visitors.
The Bluenose II is a replica of the most
famous
schooner
on the
east coast of North America. Over
almost 20
years
of
racing,
she never lost the international
championship.
The Bluenose
II
now takes people out into the
North
Atlantic to
give
them a
small taste of sailing in a
Lunenburg built
tallship.
In Lunenburg,
framed photos of the Bluenose adorn the walls of most houses &
the more affluent families hang original oil paintings.
The Bluenose Golf Club is in the background -
a
beautiful 9
hole course.
