Lunenburg was founded in 1753 and was named in honour of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, (George August of Hanover) who was also the ruler of Brunswick-Lunenburg. During the French and Indian War, several small forts which ringed the town were garrisoned by British regulars as well as by provincial troops from Massachusetts. These forts were erected to protect the town from raids by French warships and from attacks by the local Indians. At one time an important seaport and shipbuilding centre, the town is now home to numerous small businesses, high-tech industries including Composites Atlantic and HB Studios, and trade plants including High Liner Foods, which was at one point the largest fish plant in Canada. This plant now handles little more than manufacturing and most fishing is done offshore.

In the midst of a blinding Atlantic Ocean fog, a fishing trawler wends its way into Lunenburg Harbour, Nova Scotia. That’s a fairly big island out there, but a few minutes after taking this, it was totally invisible. I was glad to catch it, to give a bit of perspective to the thickness of the fog. In those days, I used to service the electronics on many of the Nova Scotia fishing trawlers, and having a good radar was a vital necessity. / Taken with a 35mm. Exakta Varex SLR, high speed Ektachrome film, in 1966. Scanned at 4000bpi with a Canoscan 4000US scanner in 2004.

The schooner Bluenose 2 is an exact replica of the original Bluenose, featured on the Canadian dime and a Canadian 50-cent postage stamp. The first Bluenose was a working “salt-banker” , fishing the Grand Banks and storing her catch in salt. Almost as soon as she was built, it was obvious she was a very fast vessel, and a Halifax newspaper promoted the idea of a fisherman’s race. The main competition was between Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Over a number of years in the 1920’s, races were held and Bluenose eventually retired as the undefeated champion. With the advent of engine power and WW2, she became a coastal trader and finally was wrecked on a reef in the Caribbean. Bluenose 2 was built by the Oland family of Halifax,at the same Lunenburg shipyard as the original, and from the same plans. She sailed for many years as a private vessel and giving promotional tours. She was given to the Province of Nova Scotia and still sails on tours and as the provincial ambassador at many sailing events in Canada and the United States. / Her mainsail is 386 sq.meters ( 4,155 sq.ft.)said to be the biggest mainsail in the world, and she has a total sail area of 1036 m² (11,150 ft²). She is 143 ft. long on deck, 161 ft. overall. / This photo was taken off Halifax harbour in 1979, using an Exakta Varex 35mm SLR and high-speed Ektachrome film.

In Nova Scotia’s south shore community of Lunenburg, you can tell the buildings belonging to the Adams and Knickle fishing business by their hey-look-at-me shade of red. Formed in 1897 by bookkeeper Harry S. Adams, former sea captain Alexander Knickle and their partner William Arenburg, the fledgling outfitting firm acquired an interest in several schooners and became active in the fishery and trade with the West Indies. After a decade in business, Arenburg retired, leaving the partnership of Adams and Knickle whose business under that name has continued to this day. The company maintains a small but successful fleet, deep sea trawling for scallops.
