Between 1955 and 1990, two vessels, both named MV Bluenose, ran passengers and freight between Yarmouth, NS, and Bar Harbor, Maine.

 

The MV Bluenose was built by Davie Shipbuilding Ltd. in Lauzon, Quebec in 1955. In 1983 the vessel was sold to the Electric Boat Corporation of Groton, Connecticut. The vessel was later sold to interests in Florida. The artifacts that you see above were donated by the Electric Boat Corporation.

 

Hubert Hall, former captain of the M.V. Bluenose, presented artifacts from the ship to the museum. He continues to be a dedicated volunteer at the museum to this day and his personal reflections on the M.V. Bluenose can be found at the front desk in the museum.
