A tote bag featuring a beautifully detailed sketch of the Bluenose was a famous Canadian fishing schooner built in 1921 that went on to win the International Fishermen's Trophy 17 consecutive times, cementing its status as a legend. In 1963, a replica called the Bluenose II was built in Lunenburg using the original plans, and it continues to serve as a "sailing ambassador" for Nova Scotia, offering tours and promoting tourism.
The Bluenose II spends much of the year docked in Lunenburg's historic harbor, offering a picturesque setting for a lovely sketch. The schooner regularly sails up and down the Atlantic coast, serving as a goodwill ambassador for the province. The Bluenose and its legacy are deeply intertwined with the history and identity of Lunenburg, making it an iconic subject for any artist capturing the character of this maritime town.
This tote bag is not only a practical accessory but also a piece of "walkable art" that allows you to carry an iconic piece of Nova Scotia's maritime heritage with you wherever you go. The sketch is part of a collection that includes various urban sketches and art prints inspired by different locations, making it a special and personalized item for those who appreciate function, art and travel.
