What other countries besides Canada and Dominica have featured the Bluenose on their stamps ? I`m wanting to add them to my Bluenose collection.
Thanks Cheryl

Hey Cheryl.
The only other one I have found is Bhutan (!) issued August 1989. I’m away right now but I’ll look for a Scott # when I get home if no one else has provided it.

Scott #745 for the single & 757 for the souvenir sheet, issued August 24, 1989, from a series of 12 stamps and 12 souvenir sheets.
2009 Scott value $2.25 for mint & used. Souvenir sheets lumped as one price for the lot: $66.00.

I have an image of the "Bluenose Stamp" on a tee shirt
under the word, "Philatelist" that my wife got for me
somewhere a year or so aqo.
Two interesting observations;
#1. ) It is amazing how many people (English speakers)
have to ask what a "Philatelist" is, or does, or did.
Or confuse it with "Physicist", "Podiatrist," or Heaven forfend,
Pedophilist !
#2.) Equally amazing, how many folks recognize the word
and begin to talk about being a stamper when they were
young.
Younger people just pause, whip out their Star Fleet handheld
communications gadget , type something in, smile and walk
away.
Once in while someone notes the ship, and comments on
that, or asks if I am Canadian.

Slightly off topic, but here's a shirt I designed (and sold a few of) a few years ago. I kept it simple

I love the stamp. Maybe because I built a 1/64 wooden replica of the Bluenose. Comes in a kit, but you literally are building. planking etc from wood. Spars, masts etc need to be tapered from dowels. Took me a year from start to finish. I'll post a pic if anyone is interested.

Thanks....it's quite a time consuming hobby, but really enjoyable as you see the ships take shape. If you want to read/see more about it Google Nautital Research Guild's "Model Ship World".

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
