  • Bluenose, the legendary racing schooner

    MOMENT IN TIME: JULY 24, 1963

    Bluenose II launches
    When the Bluenose II was launched into Lunenburg Harbour in 1963, the glory days of Nova Scotia shipbuilding were already long gone. But the ship, financed by Halifax’s Oland Brewery as part of a promotional campaign for its Schooner lager, became a symbol of something greater – an iconic reminder of when the province was a sailing powerhouse. A replica of the original Bluenose, the legendary racing schooner that was built in 1921 and sank in 1946, the new vessel became a floating ambassador for Nova Scotia. Plans to revive the memory of the Bluenose came after Lunenburg’s Smith & Rhuland Shipyard was contracted to build a replica of the HMS Bounty for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty. Built by many of the same shipwrights who had worked on the first Bluenose more than 40 years earlier, the Bluenose II was sold to the Government of Nova Scotia in 1971 for $1. The Oland family spent $300,000 building the replica – nearly 10 times what the original cost. Retrofitting work to keep it operating as a tourist vessel has cost significantly more than that – more than $19-million at last count. Greg Mercer

  • The Zombie – Gastro Obscura

    Donn Beach invented the Zombie in 1934 at his Hollywood restaurant: Don the Beachcomber. Beach, formerly known as Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gantt, is the father of tiki cocktail culture. He called the Zombie “a mender of broken dreams.” As he did with all his signature cocktails, which were exotically-named and crafted from various rums, liqueurs, proprietary blends, and syrups, he protected the recipe fiercely. Beach labeled unmarked bottles behind his bar numerically, then wrote recipes written in accordance with the numbers. They weren’t just complicated; they were encrypted. Not even staff knew what they were mixing.

    On the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, the blast from an American atomic bomb tore through the Japanese city of Hiroshima. In an instant, the heat and pressure killed up to 80,000 people. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. It killed around 40,000. Together, the bombings helped push the Second World War toward its eventual end. These events would also kickstart a decades-long nuclear-arms race and the dance of mutually assured destruction between the United States and the Soviet Union if either unleashed their atomic weapons. Several other countries also started to build and test their own nuclear arsenals, which the international community is still attempting to mitigate through various treaties. Similarly, the debate about whether the U.S. should have dropped the bombs continues, especially given the high number of civilian deaths that resulted. Many struggled with social discrimination and illnesses stemming from radiation sickness, leading the death toll in Hiroshima to rise to 140,000 by the end of 1945 and even higher in later years. Since then, many of those who were affected by the bombs, also known as hibakusha, have pushed for the elimination of nuclear weapons worldwide. Alex Nguyen
