By W.J. Roué (Published December 30, 1923 in the Halifax Herald)
In this noteworthy article the genius who designed the world-famous fishing schooner ‘Bluenose’, tells how that ship was designed. Mr. Roué goes back to the earliest days in schooner building and traces the development of that type of vessel. His remarks on the difference between Gloucester and Nova Scotia types and the necessity for stringent racing rules will interest many. So far as possible the writer has avoided technical terms and with those used the majority of Maritime readers will be familiar.
