Here's something interesting that I just noticed. This morning I turned my attention to how to do the lettering on the stern of my Bluenose model and for the first time took a good look at this picture:
That appears to be the Masonic emblem between the words "Bluenose" and "Lunenburg" It sure looks like it to me and seems like a very odd thing. What is it doing there?
Then I took another look at this picture:
In this picture there is a decoration between the words "Bluenose" and "Lunenburg." I had assumed this was just a generic decoration, but once I saw the Masonic emblem, I looked at this one with new eyes. I now think these three interlocking rings might actually be the emblem of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
Is this possible?
I have never read anything about the Bluenose being associated with fraternal organizations. Does anyone have any information about this? It has really piqued my curiosity.
