Schooner-2 BLUENOSE II
BLUENOSE II under reduced sail Bluenose II is a replica of the fishing and racing schooner Bluenose built in 1963 as a promotional yacht for Oland Brewery. Sidney Oland donated the schooner to Nova Scotia in 1971 and it has since operated as a sailing ambassador and promotional device for Nova Scotia tourism. In honour of her predecessor's record, Bluenose II does not officially race.
