Story of the Bond Between Captain Walters and the Bluenose

This book tells the story of the unique bond between Captain Walters and his schooner the Bluenose. The ship is a Canadian icon and an icon of nautical competition, unbeaten between 1921 and 1939 in the races for the International Fishermans Cup. Its success galvanized a young nation's national pride, and the ship remains an important symbol in Nova Scotia today.

Captain Walters' Skill and the Ship's Legacy

Walters' skill and devotion to his ship helped the Bluenose hold off all challengers, even at the end of its illustrious career.

Sailing for Glory

Sailing for Glory also brings to life the danger and adventure of the life of a North Atlantic fisherman in the days of sail.
