Overview One of the most famous names in sailing history is the BLUENOSE. Launched in 1921 from Nova Scotia as a fishing vessel to operate in the rough waters off the coast of Newfoundland, she became very famous for her speed, winning all the great classic sailing races on the American east coast. Her glorious career was finished in 1946 on a reef near Haiti, but her memory is still going strong. Her fame has been embossed in history, with its image now found on the Canadian dime and stamps.
