The plans for the original ship made by William Roué would be used, and the designer himself was consulted on the construction. On February 27, 1963, the keel was laid, and many of the original workmen who were still alive were back at work on the new ship. Angus Walters helped drive the symbolic golden spike at the start of the building process and was consulted at each stage. On July 24 of that year, the new ship was proudly launched before a crowd of fifteen thousand people. Angus Walters was on board at the age of eighty-two.
Starting Early Many children in places like Lunenburg started working early, at an age when today’s children are still in school and will be for many more years. Children helped to dry out the catch by putting it on flakes (wooden racks) to be dried by the sun and coastal winds. Angus would likely have done this, as well as helping out with family chores. His father, Elias, insisted that Angus finish schooling before starting the traditional life of a fisherman in one of the simpler jobs. Still, by the age of nine, Angus was begging his father to take him out on his ship, the Nyanza.
Only fishing schooners that had worked for a minimum of one season on the banks could compete, and only real fishermen could man the ships. Elimination races would be held in Halifax and Gloucester to determine the two ships that would compete on a thirty-five to forty nautical mile (about sixty-five to seventy-four kilometre) course. The race would have to be completed in nine hours. AMERICA’S CUP The America’s Cup was the first famous boat racing competition. S. ship, the America. The trophy was named after the winner.
