Like Amos' this has nothing to do with what you asked Sandy, but the BII is still sailing and is an excellent replica piece. Quite a few replicas have been built of legendary sailing vessels, but the Bluenose II is quite well known as one of the best. I saw her a few years....geeziz, maybe 9 or 10 now....in Annapolis. Truthfully, I could generally not give a turkey about older sailboats, but the BII has a certain charisma and a look about her that's hard to describe. Some boats just have soul.... and others are just boats. Kinda' like people.......
