Jacket shows wear to extremities. Bluenose. A ship loved, lost and reborn. Here is how the saltbank Schooner sailed her way to fame, bringing glory to her home port of Lunenburg, N.S., how she raced into people's heart; how she became the only ship in modern history to emblazon a nation's coinage. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, including a portfolio drawn from the files of the late W.R. MacAskill, surely the greatest marine photographer of them all.This is the tale of a ship and her exploits and triumphs that took her to greatness and the men who planned her, who built her and sailed her. The book was dedicated to Colonel Sidney C. Oland. Introduction by Jack Brayley. What a wonderful body of work!
