With it being a beautiful warm evening, I decided to head over the river (via my favourite mode of transport ~ the LaHave Ferry) to Lunenburg, Stonehurst and Blue Rocks.
Docked in
Lunenburg was the barque Picton Castle and Bluenose II. The Picton Castle has
recently returned to her home port of Lunenburg after the latest global circumnavigation
adventure, which I followed daily with much envy via the
Captain’s Log posted on the barque’s web-site.
The Picton Castle is registered in the Cook Islands and is famous for her worldly voyages. Built in as a Fishing Trawler in 1928, she served with the Royal Navy in WWII as a Minesweeper during which she was known as the Liberator of Norway.
More can be learned about the Picton Castle from the following web-site, be sure to view the 5-minute video on the front page of the site.
