Description: A model of the “Bluenose,” a schooner originally built in Nova Scotia in 1921. The model was made by Ken Shepherd who came from Nova Scotia to find work in Welland during the 1930’s. It is carved from a single block of wood. This model was purchased by H.H. Hilder, a furniture dealer from Welland. The Hilders would sail the model back and forth across the canal near the downtown Welland bridge. It was donated in memory of Edwin Hilder by Flavio Botari.
