The Bluenose, "queen of the North Atlantic fishing fleet", was a schooner of 285 tons, designed by W.J. Roue of Halifax and built of Nova Scotian materials by Smith and Rhuland at Lunenburg. Launched in 1921, she won, in that same year, the Herald trophy, emblematic of the sailing championship of the international fishing fleet. Never defeated in her native waters, she successfully defended her championship in 1922, 1923, 1931, and in 1938. A successful working schooner, she also holds the record for the largest single catch of fish ever brought into Lunenburg by a sailing vessel. She was wrecked and lost off Haiti in 1946.
