The Bluenose, the Grand Banks schooner whose image has appeared on every Canadian dime since 1937, was built at the Smith \u0026amp; Rhuland yard here in 1921. The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic preserves the full arc of the economy that sustained the town for 250 years — from the dory fishermen of the 1880s to the cod moratorium of 1992 that ended the Grand Banks fishery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colors are the specific South Shore palette: the warm ochre, ox-blood red, and sea-captain yellow of the heritage wooden facades along Lincoln and Montague Streets, the deep grey-green of the Atlantic below the escarpment, the silver-pewter of Mahone Bay fog on still mornings, and the pale blue sky the South Shore produces in September when the fog burns off and the light is at its most precise.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lunenburg-nova-scotia-digital-watercolor-hardboard-coaster","title":"Lunenburg, Nova Scotia | Original Series Hardboard Coaster | The Painted Passport®","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLUNENBURG, NOVA SCOTIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLunenburg is the most perfectly preserved colonial seaport in North America — a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the South Shore of Nova Scotia where a dense row of colourful clapboard buildings in red, yellow, blue, green, and grey climbs the hillside above the working harbour, and a white lobster boat rides at anchor in the still grey-blue water below.

The waterfront, viewed from the harbour, presents one of the most extraordinary streetscapes in Canada — a dense row of colourful clapboard buildings in red, yellow, blue, green, and grey climbing the hillside above the water, with the deep crimson of the Adams and Knickle fishing warehouse anchoring the right side of the composition and a white lobster boat riding at anchor in the still grey-blue harbour below. The town was the home port of the Bluenose, the undefeated racing and fishing schooner that appeared on the Canadian dime from 1937, and the tradition of wooden boatbuilding, deep-sea fishing, and the specific Atlantic maritime culture of the South Shore continues in the active working harbour, the smoke houses, and the fish processing facilities that still operate alongside the restaurants and galleries of the old town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis high-quality canvas print brings the extraordinary colour and the maritime character of Lunenburg into your living space — the vivid patchwork of painted wooden facades climbing the hillside, the deep crimson of the fishing warehouses on the waterfront, the still grey-blue of the Nova Scotia harbour, and the pale blue Atlantic sky overhead with its scattered clouds.
