The Driving Force
The Bluenose II would make quite a mess of the public wharf if it swept into its berth under sail. She is not totally reliant on wind power. Just in front of the main mast we have a boxed control panel (1) which the captain uses to bring this ship into and out of Lunenburg Harbour.
