Bluenose II Preservation Trust in Halifax, Halifax, Canada | Sailing

The Bluenose II Preservation Trust is a volunteer organization established to preserve and operate Bluenose II for the people of Nova Scotia. The purpose of the trust is to preserve the schooner and ensure that the legacies of traditional seamanship skills and the craft of building great wooden ships are maintained for future generations of Nova Scotians.

The Trust has the mandate to raise funds to ensure that Bluenose II continues in full operational status as Canada's sailing monument. The Trust is a non-profit organization and a registered charity. Funds are raised through the operation of the vessel, by licensing the use of the image, public donations and sales in the Bluenose II Ship's Company Store in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotians and visitors can be part of the "wooden ships and iron men" legacy through donations to the Trust. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations of $5.00 and over.
