Summary:
Land of the Bluenosers - From Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the fishing capital of Canada, "International Scallop Shucking", the U.S. versus Canada, and "World Championship Fish Filleting", a Newfoundlander defends the crown. A story of wooden ships, and iron men, of traditions and the lure of the sea. From the place that gave birth to the Bluenose and where the Bluenose gave birth to the legacy - of pride in the fishery.

Crafts in Newfoundland - In poor times we hooked rugs and knit sweaters because we had to. Today crafts are more than a way of life, they're little industries that bring in a lot of money for a lot of people. Crafts also attract tourists as Dave Quinton discovered last summer in Twillingate. We'll learn what the craft industry means to Lorna Stuckless and other people in Notre Dame Bay.
