This is nice to see. I remember going on this as a kid.

Quote:
Among the spectators Saturday was Charles Tanner, 92, who worked as a crewman on the orginal Bluenose schooner. He was also in Lunenburg for the 1963 launch of the Bluenose II.
"I thought it was a nice thing to see," said Tanner
The original Bluenose was famous for winning every race in 18 years of competition after its launch in 1921. It was built in Lunenburg in the same shipyard as the current renovation.
