Well I worked building dories for pretty much all the wooden schooners round here, Bluenose, Bluenose II, Bounty, The Rose, you name it. Started right out of school and learned on the job. The good men had to go off to war so we had to step and learn quick."https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_3404.jpgMichael William McNeil“Employed with Lunenburg Industrial Foundry since 1997 as a machinist and electrian. I live in Chelsea, Lunenburg County and have 3 beautiful daudhters, all of which have done school projects on the original Bluenose and Bluenose II. Therefore they are very proud to say that their father helped reconstruct the Bluenose II. Having been part of the construction of Theodore II was also an honour. The craftsmanship and sheer dedication to authenticity is certainly not a lost or fading art. At least not here on Nova Scotia’s south Shore. All of the varied occupations I have had over the years this one has given me the most challenges to say the least…but also given me the greatest pleasure. Sail on Bluenose II … Sail on.”https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0001.jpgCharlie Tanner"Well I started as a boy 19 or 11 years old, didn’t know much rlse but go fishin’. The dories would come up along side the ship, we were anchored and yhey’d heave the cod on deck an’ I’d fork em’ over and cut the tongues out and throw them in a barrel to sell on shore. Some of those tongues were real big."https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_3463.jpgArthur Dauphinee"Ya made the blocks for the new Bluenose II and all that kinda stuff, how long ya bin makin’ for? Ah, it’s, all…well the new Bluenose is gonna use all the old stuffI made before, ya, they’re gettin’ a couple of new ones I had to repair. Now both our grandfathers sailed on the Bluenose, the original Bluenose, and young Tommy sailed on it when it was in the races. Ya grandpop sailed on that, didn’t he . Grandpop was a sailtrimmer, ya know what they say bout the sailtrimmer, the man who trims the sails wins the race. The Bluenose lost one race in it’s career and that race he wasn’t on the boat. Nah, what I was gonna say is,here in this bunch of stuff, all of this here is for the Columbia. And the Americans claim that the Columbia either did beat the Bluenose or almost beat the the Bluenose. It was almost. Well it might a bin the Columbia that won that race, when grandpa wasn’t on the boat. Anyway all this stuff is for the duplicate of the Columbia, the one they’re buildin’ now. The Americans seem to think that the Columbia is the faster boat."https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_3449.jpgAll Wells“Young kid growing up in Toronto, my Nova Scotia parents and I would venture ‘down home’ every summer for vacation. Those childhood memories in Nova Scotia would never release their grip on me. So in 1998 when I needed a fresh start, I returned to the ‘motherland’ to reinvent my life. I met and married a local girl and joined in her Lunenburg based business designing and selling custom furniture. Then in 2009, Covey Island Boatworks gave me the opportunity to use those new cabinetry skills in boat interiors and at 50 something, I’ve become known as Nova Scotia’s oldest boat building apprentice. Bluenose II project has been a once in a lifetime experience.To be working with and along side and learning from some of the most talented shipwrights in the country has been an honour. To leave a mark on this Canadian icon has not only been a privilege, but I have proven to myself that any adversity can be overcome with hard work and perseverance. For that I will be eternally grateful.”https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0030.jpgVern Shea“Started in print room at Pictou Shipyard in 1974, couldn’t draw my breath. With guidance from a great mentor and patience from the tradesmen, I was soon producing working drawings with non catastrophic errors Over time and with experience this industry has provided me with a living, and afforded me the opportunity to engineer, oversee construction and launch the Ship Hector, as well as provide working drawings and technical assistance to the Bluenose II project. Still “Old School” as all my drawings are hand drawn.”https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_2792.jpgIMG_2792https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_2677.jpgIMG_2677https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_2585.jpgIMG_25852016-08-03T14:07:46+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/contact/2016-07-21T18:09:39+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/residential-murals/https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_20150118_161416551_hdr.jpgIMG_20150118_161416551_HDRhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_20150118_141905716_hdr.jpgIMG_20150118_141905716_HDRhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1491.jpgIMG_1491https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1490.jpgIMG_1490https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1489.jpgIMG_1489https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1276.jpgIMG_1276https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_1275.jpgIMG_1275https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_0408.jpgIMG_04082016-04-30T12:27:48+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/parclo-project/https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-dr-hfxns-7.jpgIM000469.JPGIM000469.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-drhfxns-4.jpgIM000475.JPGIM000475.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-drhfxns-3.jpgIM000476.JPGIM000476.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-drhfx-ns-6.jpgIM000473.JPGIM000473.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-drhfx-ns-2.jpgIM000477.JPGIM000477.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/07-parclo-braemar-drhfx-ns-1.jpgIM000482.JPGIM000482.JPG2016-04-30T12:25:59+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/halifax-cabinets/https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/im000419.jpgIM000419.JPGIM000419.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/im000413.jpgIM000413.JPGIM000413.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/im000324.jpgIM000324.JPGIM000324.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxjn.jpgboxjnhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxj.jpgboxjhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxi.jpgboxihttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxe.jpgboxehttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxd.jpgboxdhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxc.jpgboxchttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/boxa.jpgboxa2016-04-30T12:23:57+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/commercial-murals/https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstorens-6.jpgIM000102.JPGIM000102.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstorens-5.jpgIM000108.JPGIM000108.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstore-ns-4.jpgIM000103.JPGIM000103.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstore-ns-3.jpgIM000105.JPGIM000105.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstore-ns-2.jpgIM000106.JPGIM000106.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/09-bridgewater-superstore-ns-1.jpgIM000107.JPGIM000107.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/08-breamar-superstorehfxns-7.jpgIM000119.JPGIM000119.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/08-breamar-superstorehfxns-6.jpgIM000120.JPGIM000120.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/08-breamar-superstorehfxns-5.jpgIM000121.JPGIM000121.JPGhttps://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/08-breamar-superstorehfxns-3.jpgIM000123.JPGIM000123.JPG2016-04-30T12:21:25+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/about/https://matyasmurals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/peter-m1.jpgPeter M12016-04-26T01:44:33+00:00weekly0.6https://matyasmurals.com/2016/04/26/first-blog-post/2016-04-26T01:26:10+00:00monthlyhttps://matyasmurals.comdaily1.02021-04-24T20:32:39+00:00
