The legend of Bluenose begins with a key victory: 103 years ago today

Over the years, long-time Herald researcher/librarian Norma Marr prepared a feature called The H Files, in which she looked back at a variety of news events. Here are some of her instalments from October 1998, including a look at the Canadian schooner Bluenose. It became the most famous ship in our country, eventually becoming featured on the Canadian dime along with gracing three Canadian stamps over the years and being the first non-human inductee into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1955.
