Picton Castle has two purr-tty special crew members. Their names are Fiji and Tigress. Fiji is a 6-year-old domestic short hair, who you guessed it, was born on the island of Fiji deep in the South Pacific Ocean. Tigress is a tabby cat from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia-Picton Castle’s homeport.
We have a rather LARGE announcement. We’re excited to share that the Canadian Coast Guard will be bringing one of their icebreaking vessels to our festival this summer. The CCGS Griffon can carry over 740 tons and is 234 feet long, making her the largest vessel in our fleet.
When Bluenose II confirmed their attendance at our 2019 festival, we were so excited we almost fell overboard. The fishing and racing schooner from Nova Scotia is no ordinary vessel. To explain why, we need to go back to the Atlantic seaboard in the early 1900’s, when her story began.
