Show detail Hide detail

Profile of Angus Walters (1882-1968), fisherman and captain of the Bluenose, to mark his death at age 87 on August 12, 1968. The documentary highlights the life of Angus Walters through images of ships at full sail and stories of the Captain's achievements throughout his career. The documentary is framed within the context of Walter's funeral which takes place in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. His life and career are examined through archival clips and interviews. Among the interviewees are Captain Ted Briggs and J. Frank Willis who candidly remember their experiences with Walters and the Bluenose, their perception of Walters' thoughts on sailing, and the fame the Bluenose brought to Canada. Footage also records British and Canadian flags at half staff, to respect the passing of the honorary captain; the funeral service conducted by [Reverend E. Keith Krauss] of Mahone Bay; and the casket being lowered into the ground. The film ends with news clippings of the Bluenose and images of sailing ships. <29mn>
