This
story is a romance of the sea... of love and sacrifice, determination
and redemption, tragedy and triumph - and best of all, it's
true!
...a depression is waning
- a war is looming, but in October of 1938 all the eyes of
maritime North America are on the famous Lunenburg Schooner,
Bluenose, as she triumphantly returns to port after one of
the most courageous victories in the annals of sailing history.
On shore to greet her is
her equally famous Skipper, 58 year-old Angus Walters. But
why was he on shore waiting and not at the helm guiding her
to dock amid the cheering throng?
Who or what could have possibly
kept him on shore and away from the deck of his beloved Bluenose?
Experience the
drama and the heart-pounding excitement of a saltbank schooner
under full sail - as waves crash across her deck, tossing crew
and cargo about like twigs in a tornado.
See the true story
of politics, dirty tricks and international intrigue, as two
nations vie for the title of the fastest schooner on the Grand
Banks.
Know the only
passion greater than a man's love for the sea... at a time,
a place and a way of life that tested wooden ships and iron
men to their limits.
