Schooner Bluenose and Bluenose II SCHOONER represents a unique approach to writing history. “Bluenose” is the Nova Scotia fishing schooner which won the international fishermen’s races in 1921—the year she was launched—and held the trophy until the races ended in 1938. “Bluenose II” is "Nova Scotia`s sailing ambassador," an exact replica, launched in 1963 and still sailing. In 1983, Silver Donald Cameron signed up as an ordinary seaman and sailed on “Bluenose II” from Lunenburg to Atlantic City, New Jersey. The exciting history of the two schooners emerges from his experiences and conversations at sea during that voyage. "A people seeking to define a great future must know the most noble achievements of their own past," writes Silver Donald Cameron. "Those who wish to excel will find their inspiration in men and women who sought the very limit of excellence with their finest ideas." SCHOONER is "the biography of such an idea."
