Schooner "Bluenose"
Built in 1921 at the Smith & Rhuland Shipyard in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, in its time, the fishing schooner Bluenose dominated the International Fishermans Trophy Cup and retired undefeated after 18 years, the only ship to do so. She became not only a Canadian icon but perhaps the best known schooner in the world. Philips model of the Schooner "Bluenose" may be perhaps the most accurate representation of the "Bluenose" as she was in 1921 when she was launched and ready for the fishing grounds (entrants of the IFTC were required to be working vessels). He spent many years in researching this project. Much of his time was spent in the Nova Scotia archives and talking with people in the Lunenburg area who sailed on the "Bluenose" along with some of the shipbuilders who were responsible for building her.
