Bluenose Canadian Schooner

Kit by Model Shipways

Bluenose was a Grand Banks fishing schooner built in Nova Scotia in 1921 that also raced in the fishermen's schooner series. She was wrecked on a reef off Haiti in 1946, and a replica was launched in 1963.

The 1:64 kit uses laser-cut basswood bulkheads planked with basswood strips, with plans by Ben Lankford drawn from research by Erik A. R. Ronnberg Jr.
