Bluenose II ***New Dec '07***

Captain Wayne Walters of Bluenose II called on us for a new website earlier in the year. It was a labour of love for LuckyDuck - the last time Allan had worked on Nova Scotia's Sailing Ambassador was as a shipwright during a refit. I've always had an emotional connection to both Bluenose and Bluenose II. Adding to the project was tracking down photos by Maurice Crosby, Sherman Hines, John Knickle and W.R. MacAskill. As well, LuckyDuck took a series of photos of the crew and Lunenburg waterfront and interviewed Captain Walters for the shore crew page. Each summer, Bluenose II gives public cruises and travels to special events near and far proudly personifying "History under sail!" Stories of Lunenburg's Original Bluenose and Captain Angus Walters have enthralled generations of Atlantic Canadians. As the undefeated Queen of the North Atlantic, she was the world's most famous Nova Scotian fishing schooner earning a place of legend in our hearts and history books.

Web design testimonial from Captain Wayne Walters
Director of Operations, Bluenose II

"Why work with someone without proven results? Most webmasters don't know how to sell and turn your site into an "extension" of your operation - LuckyDuck does. Most webmasters are more concerned with image other than results. LuckyDuck does a beautiful job, while actually getting results! You can have an awesome site, but who really cares, if no one sees it? LuckyDuck web design knows how to create the web strategies, design features, and content to draw an audience to your site and keep them coming back for more. It may sound like I am a part owner with my unabashed enthusiasm. I'm not, but I know what works for us. Thank you Allan and Jodie."
