Description
Halifax Trade and Convention Centre Weather Vane is one of my photographs of my hometown.This weathervane of the Bluenose is found on top of the Halifax World Trade and Convention Centre in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The weathervane that sits on the glass tower is modeled after the Bluenose a fishing and racing schooner that was built in Nova Scotia in 1921.
"After a season fishing on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Bluenose defeated Elsie (out of Gloucester), returning the International Fishermen's Trophy to Nova Scotia. In 1930, off Gloucester, Massachusetts, she was defeated 2–0 in the inaugural Sir Thomas Lipton International Fishing Challenge Cup by perhaps her most celebrated competitor, the Gertrude L. Thebaud. However, over the next 17 years of racing, no challenger, American or Canadian, could wrest the International Fishermen's Trophy from her."
