Canadian Dime

The Bluenose was not officialy on the Canadian dime until sometime around 2001. Before that, it was just a generic ship. The Royal Canadian Mint only made it the Bluenose recently. Kaiser Matias 02:43 7 May 2005 (UTC)

The entry of Kaiser_Matias of 7 May 2005 is not offered with a citation or support and is hence unreliable. It should be disregarded. The Bluenose has appeared on the Canadian Dime since 1937. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.71.228 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 13 December 2005

I'm new, so I'm not sure how to proceed and I hesitate to make the corrections. The entry of Kaiser_Matias of 7 May 2005 was correct. The dime, as originally issued, portrayed a generic schooner (a common fishing ship). The facts that the Bluenose is a schooner and that most Canadians referred to the depiction as the Bluenose, do not change what was originally depicted. Please refer to "37th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION EDITED HANSARD • NUMBER 158 CONTENTS Monday, March 18, 2002" at http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?pub=hansard&mee=158&parl=37&ses=1&language=E&x=1#T1130

This holds a discussion of the dime which "In 2002 the government is not only reintroducing the traditional schooner. It is officially recognizing it as the Bluenose.". The Bank of Canada Currency Museum (http://www.currencymuseum.ca/eng/learning/coins_dime.php) states that "The royal proclamation describing the 10-cent coin says simply "a fishing schooner under sail."". Even though many people have emotionally linked the schooner on the dime and the Bluenose, in actual fact the depiction was never meant to be the Bluenose and only recognized as the Bluenose in 2002. To me the dime will always be the Bluenose dime, but the question is "is Wikipedia an encyclopedia which provides acurate information or emotionally biased information?".

I hope I have provided some support for the entry of Kaiser_Matias of 7 May 2005. The claim "The Bluenose has appeared on the Canadian Dime since 1937." by 64.81.71.228 seems to be the unsupported statement. Purley 15:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bluenoser

Removed "Bluenose has such a proud Nova Scotian history that the word "bluenoser" is slang for Nova Scotian" since this is erroneous, and backwards. The nickname "bluenoser" was used for Nova Scotians long before the famous ship. It was named after the nickname. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.201.251 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 30 September 2005

Stamp

I take exception to another point in this article which shows a Bluenose stamp and says "Bluenose, leading Columbia in a 1926 race on this postage stamp of 1929.". I believe that the stamp depicts the Bluenose twice. To support this I offer up the Canadian Postal Museum (http://www.civilization.ca/cpm/chrono/ch1929ae.html). The image is a engraved composit of two photographs by McKaskill (I may be wrong about the photographer) both of which are of the Bluenose. Purley 15:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Shipwrecks

This page needs to have the correct infobox. See R.P. Resor (ship) or Batavia (ship) for examples. Can't fix now, tagging articles. Evan^{(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!)} 18:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Article for Bluenose II?

Shouldn't thid article be split with a separate article for Blueonse II? They are two different vessels with very different histories.Letterofmarque (talk) 15:09, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hearing no objections, I created a new page for Bluenose II.Letterofmarque (talk) 03:03, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
