 Nautical Mind :: Books :: Narrative & Biography :: Bluenose :: Race for Real Sailors: The Bluenose and the International Fisherman's Cup

  A Race for Real Sailors: The Bluenose and the International Fisherman's Cup
Race for Real Sailors: The Bluenose and the International Fisherman's Cup 
On October 22, 1921, the American fishing schooner "Elsie", just arrived from Gloucester, Massachusetts, lined up in Halifax Harbour beside a new, untested schooner from Lunenburg, ready to race over a 40-mile ocean course. The "Elsie’s" skipper had beaten a Canadian boat decisively the previous year to win the first International Fishermen’s Cup race. The new challenger was the "Bluenose", set to begin a series of heated and often acrimonious races over the following two decades that left her bruised but unbowed, turning her into an icon whose image still shines on the Canadian dime more than eighty years later.
