 Nautical Mind :: Books :: Narrative & Biography :: Bluenose :: Witch in the Wind: The True Story of the Legendary Bluenose

  Witch in the Wind: The True Story of the Legendary Bluenose
Witch in the Wind: The True Story of the Legendary Bluenose 
The history of the Bluenose from a fresh new perspective. de Villiers examines the history of this famous vessel against the social and economic backdrop of the east coast Atlantic shipping and fishing industries that spawned her. Unlike any previous examination of the Bluenose, de Villiers contextualizes the birth and death of this celebrated ship with the rise of industrialization and the decline of the Age of Sail, and shows what impact these changes had on generations of families whose way of life depended on the sea.
