Rekord in Lunenburg

A delightful little Norwegian built ex freighter showed up in Lunenburg this winter. Regrettably I could not get a good photo on my last visit (at least not without trespassing) so you will have to  go to  the following website and Youtube to see the boat in detail.

The boat was apparently sold in 2015 and spent some time in Yarmouth, NS, perhaps after a failed transatlantic attempt. It was reported to be for sale again at $89,000 but it was not in a safe location in Yarmouth and needed immediate attention. It looks like someone has rescued it (again).

I it will get some more restoration work to preserve what is now a 100 year old treasure.
