Bluenose II Model Schooner Painted
Medium 38"L
Launched in Lunenburg, the Bluenose II schooner has a very special place in
the history of navigation and yachts. 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 II Model Yacht
was used not only as a racing ship bu 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
Yacht defeated the ship Elsie from Gloucester, Massachusetts, returning the
trophy to Nova Scotia. During the next 17 years, the Bluenose II faced no North
American challengers. She was built in Nova Scotia on March 26, 1921, and shipwrecked
near Haiti in 1946.
Our Bluenose II Model Ship is 100% hand built from scratch using the plank
on frame construction method. Hundreds of hours of work are required to finish
just a single wooden model ship. Completed ship models contain thousands of
details created by our skillful master craftsmen. This Model Ship is made of
the finest wood such as; Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and many other exotic tropical
woods. Extensive research through original plans and pictures make each of our
model ships authentic and original. Each model boat goes through a demanding
quality control process before leaving the workshop. The Bluenose II Model Schooner
is the perfect gift for a home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or a passionate
collector.
