PRIDE OF LUNENBURG, N. Artist Yves Bérubé is based in Lunenburg, N. Where Bluenose was proudly built and launched, and where it called home. MIXED FROSTING: To strike a contrast between William J. Roué’s vision and its fulfillment, the first-person perspective of the design process is flat frosted while the image of the Bluenose under full sail is traditionally engraved frosted. The result is a smooth transition from concept to launch. A TRIBUTE TO A VISIONARY: The design includes two personal touches: the signature of naval architect William J. Roué, as it appears on Roué’s hand-drawn sail plan of Bluenose. The first-person perspective is flat frosted to distinguish between Roué’s vision and the inspiring sight of a selectively gold-plated Bluenose under full sail. As an added tribute, W. Roué’s signature is included, as it appeared on the original Bluenose sail plan. The obverse features the effigy of King George V by Sir E.

Yves Bérubé, artist The Builders: Smith and Rhuland Shipbuilding is one of Canada’s oldest industries and a proud fixture of Atlantic Canada’s seafaring traditions especially in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, home of Bluenose and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The South Shore community was already a busy shipbuilding centre when Smith and Rhuland Shipyards opened in 1900. Known for its versatility and fine craftsmanship, the firm was awarded the contract for Bluenose in 1920. Its yards became a hub of activity and excitement as the finest shipwrights set to work using lumber from Nova Scotia, while local craftsmen stitched the sails and forged the hardware. In addition to Bluenose, Smith and Rhuland Shipyards built, launched, repaired and restored hundreds of vessels tugs, trawlers, freighters, yachts and Grand Banks schooners, and even a famous replica of HMS Bounty. Its facilities on the Lunenburg waterfront, including the Big Boat Shed came under new ownership in the mid 1970s, but the Smith and Rhuland name remains synonymous with the pride of Lunenburg.
