Snyder's Shipyard Named Main Sub-Contractor for 'Theresa E. Connor' Refit

(January 2009) - Snyder's Shipyard in Dayspring, NS was recently named as the main sub-contractor in the second phase of a refit of the schooner named THERESA E. CONNOR. The 70-year-old salt-banker is owned by the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic in Lunenburg, NS. The talented Snyder's shipwrights will remove and replace frames, stanchions, knight heads and planking on both port and starboard sides of the vessel.

The job, which started early January '09, is expected to last several weeks.

Snyder's Shipyard Names Exclusive Authorized Builder For Bluenose Classic Sloop

Snyder's Shipyard has been named the exclusive authorized builder for new construction of the Bluenose Classic Sloop, a 23' version of the schooner Bluenose. W.J. Roué designed the sloop in 1948 as a day-sailer for Bluenose enthusiasts. Hundreds of Bluenose Classic Sloops were built from the Roué design from 1948 until 1972, many of which remain afloat in Maritime waters, on the Great Lakes and in the United States. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of new Bluenose Class Sloops will go to the construction of Bluenose IV.
