A depression is waning - a war is looming, but in October of 1938 all the eyes of maritime North America are on the famous Lunenburg Schooner, Bluenose, as she triumphantly returns to port after one of the most courageous victories in the annals of sailing history. On shore to greet her is her equally famous skipper, 58 year-old Angus Walters. But why was he on shore waiting and not at the helm guiding her to dock amid the cheering throng? Who or what could have possibly kept him on shore and away from the deck of his beloved Bluenose? Experience the drama and the heart-pounding excitement of a saltbank schooner under full sail - as waves crash across her deck, tossing crew and cargo about like twigs in a tornado. See the true story of politics, dirty tricks and international intrigue, as two nations vie for the title of the fastest schooner on the Grand Banks. Know the only passion greater than a man's love for the sea... at a time, a place and a way of life that tested wooden ships and iron men to their limits.
