As reported in todays Chronicle Herald, The Roue Family has filed a copyright suit against the Province of NS. Should Be an interesting case, since this incaration of the Bluenose II is a new Build. The Bluenose I was Designed By William Roue. Roue gave his blessing for the Bluenose II, and while not identical, It was based on Roue’s Original Plans. The Current Bluenose was built from modern drawings drawn up by naval architects in Dartmouth. I suspect the case will come down to how much of the new drawings design is original. if the naval Architects worked from a set of Roue Plans, then there may be a case. if its a straight up Lookalike, then perhaps not so much.
For those of you, like me, who had to miss the Bluenose re-Launch, You can watch it Via the Province of Nova Scotias YouTube Channel.

Another Ferry tied up in Halifax – “The Walter Grey” She is Registered in St. Andrews NB.
She is Registered to Grey’s Aqua Management, as a fishing vessel. Grey’s Aqua appears to be a fish farming operation, and they presumably use the Ex Ferry to tend to their farms. No idea why she is in Halifax, though she was built in Dartmouth in 1974, and appered to have some work being done.
The Ferry Marine Coaster IIIArrived in Halifax today. She is Bound For Newfoundland with her new owners Puddister Shipping Limited.
