...Maritime Provinces and Down-East ports half a century ago had to be capacious and beamy enough to hold their fish, yet fast enough to race competitors back to market. The 143-ft. Bluenose met both requirements. During the 1930s, she made maritime history against the Gertrude L. Thebaud in the International Schooner races. The tenth renewal of those briny contests last week proved that the boats have changed with the times-at least in size...
...combined units will parade past the wooden bleachers, which will serve as a temporary reviewing stand. Provost Buck will head the reviewing officers, and will be joined by Rear-Admiral Hewlett Thebaud, Commandant of the First Naval District...
Ready to be "inducted" this week as flagship of the Coast Guard's Corsair Fleet was the sturdy, full-rigged Gertrude L. Thebaud, most famed of U.S. fishing schooners. Built to sail in weather that would blow the paint off her, the Gertrude L. Thebaud met Nova Scotia's older, bigger Bluenose in three salt-sprayed races, won once, lost twice. In her day she has brought back many a load of cod and halibut. Now, with her white hull painted drab grey, she will patrol the Atlantic Coast listening for lurking subs...

The challenger, Gertrude L. Thebaud (named after the wife of a Gloucester summer resident who put up most of the $78,000 necessary to build her eight years ago), was making her second attempt to regain the trophy-with Captain Ben Pine at the wheel...
