{"product_id":"bluenose-ii-9781551090634","title":"Bluenose II","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this magnificent work  L.B. Jenson  noted marine artist and historic illustrator  has adapted and expanded his limited edition portfolio Bluenose II  The Last of the Tall Schooners to create a lasting memento of the great fishing schooners. These measured drawings of the Bluenose II were carefully produced and checked while she was a fully-rigged and working schooner. All aspects of her design have been painstakingly reproduced -- her deck fittings and housings  booms  gaffs  bowsprit  rigging  etc. -- and are supported by illustration of the schooner under sail. Enlarged drawings of the hull  masts and sails are included for building enthusiasts. In addition to the Bluenose II drawings  Jenson also provides  with precision and detail  an illustrated history of the bank fishery under sail  from hauling trawls and squid jigging  dressing cod and weighing halibut  to navigation and wind scales. The Bluenose II  commissioned by the Oland family in 1963  is the last living example of the great two-masted schooners. It is a perfect sailing replica of the original Bluenose  designed by W.J. Rou and built in 1921 at the Lunenburg shipyeard of Smith \u0026amp; Rhuland. The labour of love stands as a tribute to generations of seamen and shipbuilders everywhere and is such an authentic masterpiece that shipwright John Rhuland  who has overseen the building of both schooners  wept with joy upon seeing Jensons detailed drawings presented here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665810513973,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551090635","price":56.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551090634.jpg?v=1782408144","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bluenose-ii-9781551090634","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
