The Queen of the Grand Banks Schooners Posted by: AnonymousXIII
Video duration: 222 seconds Rare footage of the original Bluenose schooner, racing against her Gloucester rival, the Gertrude L. Thibault, set to Stan Roger's inspiring music and voice. Hats off to two great Canadian icons.

Actually I had heard they were naming it the Bluenose IV (4), due to some sort of copyright issues, but that may? have been in error.

I was just reading Sterling Hayden's account of this race in a passage from his book "Wanderer" (p.203), so I Googled? the names of the two ships and ran across this clip. Outstanding.

Thank you very much, I'm glad it's appreciated. It doesn't get anywhere? near as many hits as the Stan Rogers version, but it's got almost twice as much footage.
