Sir Sandford Fleming won't get a blow-up in this thread because he's not sailing ship related. He was a Scottish Canadian. This engineer, besides building railways in Canada has the distinction of rescuing a painting of Queen Victoria from a fire which ended up being the design of the 12d black. And....most noteably...designed Canada's first stamp, the Three Pence Beaver!! YEA!

Joseph E. Bernier and his crew went where most people would find it too inhospitable to stay long. They spent enough time travelling and wintering in the Arctic Islands that they met the international requirements for declaring sovereignty of them for Canada.

Both of these ships are the Bluenose. The engraver used the Bluenose as a model for both of them.
