This Schooner Bluenose II Model was specially designed & built by the plank on bulkhead method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak together on the hull). The sailboat model is built  exactly to scale and painted as the original Bluenose II was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.

The schooner Bluenose was launched in Lunenburg and has a very special place in the history of navigation and yachting. Built to fish off the Newfoundland coast, the ship soon turned out to be such a fast sailer that she won all the great classical regattas along the USA's Eastern coast. The Bluenose was used not only as a racing ship but as a cod-fishing schooner.

The Bluenose was the response to a Nova Scotian defeat in a race for schooners established by the Halifax Herald newspaper in 1920. After fishing season, the Bluenose defeated the ship Elsie from Gloucester, Massachusetts, returning the trophy to Nova Scotia.

During the next 17 years, the Bluenose faced no North American challengers. She was built in Nova Scotia on March 26, 1921, and shipwrecked near Haiti in 1946. An exact replica the Bluenose II  was built and launched in 1964.

The model measures 38" long from bow to stern. It's a fabulous boat model that will be a conversation piece for any room or office.
