The province has short-listed a consortium of Nova Scotia shipbuilders for construction work to restore the schooner Bluenose II.The Lunenburg Shipyard Alliance was the successful respondent to a request for interest issued in December.
The consortium includes Covey Island Boatworks, Lunenburg Industrial Foundry and Engineering of Lunenburg and Snyder's Shipyard Limited of Dayspring, Lunenburg Co.
"This is another crucial step in securing the future of Bluenose II," said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Heritage Percy Paris. "The Lunenburg Shipyard Alliance brings together the experience and know how of three world-class Nova Scotia companies, and ensures the investment to preserve this icon flow to the provincial economy."
