This biography in the Stories of Canada series for ages 9 and up
tells the story of the unique bond between Captain Angus Walters
and his schooner, the Bluenose. The Bluenose is a Canadian icon, an
icon of nautical competition and one of the world's most famous
ships. The Bluenose was unbeaten between 1921 and 1939 in the races
for the International Fisherman's Cup. Its success galvanized the
young nation's national pride, and the ship remains an important
symbol in Nova Scotia today. Its image has been emblazoned on the
Canadian dime for decades. Walters' skill and devotion to his ship
helped the Bluenose hold off all challengers, even at the end of
its illustrious career. Sailing for Glory also vividly brings to
life the toil, danger, and adventure of the life of an Atlantic
coast fisherman in the long-gone days of sailing.
