The Bluenose was the fastest working schooner ever built--pride of Nova Scotia's great fishing captains and shipbuilders. Launched in 1921, that same year she captured the International Fishermen's Trophy from the Americans. She never lost it. Between races, Bluenose was a working schooner, fishing for cod off Sable Island and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Bluenose II is a replica of the famed schooner from Lunenburg, and has had her share of adventures as well.
From his own encounter with Bluenose II, from the memories of men who knew Angus Walters, and from the trials and tribulations of Bluenose and Bluenose II, Silver Donald Cameron has crafted a fine adventure story that does full justice to Nova Scotia's two legendary schooners.

Terms of sale
We're an exclusively online bookstore.
Email is the best way to reach us: nilbogbooks@gmail.com We'll respond to your email inquiry within 24 hours.
Most of our books are in storage, and will have to be retrieved before they can be shipped (or described/photographed if additional details are requested). While this may occasionally slow down responses, it also means these books aren't as manhandled as they might be in a physical store.
We carry mostly modern firsts, photography, art books, children's books, and cook books.
Unless stated otherwise, our books are not library copies, book club editions or price-clipped. However, feel free to email about specific titles if you just want to be sure.
Shipping terms
Orders will usually ship within 2 business days. Our prices are based around books the size of a novel, so they may need to be increased for larger books. We don't make any money on postage, but we can't afford to subsidize it, either.
