A Sad Day
75 years ago, today, in 1946, the Bluenose struck a reef off Île à Vache Haiti and sank. No lives were lost but the Queen of the North Atlantic was a complete loss. At the time, Bluenose was serving as a “tramp schooner”, sailing goods around the Caribbean after her sale in 1942 to the West Indian Trading Company.
