Angus Walters : ウィキペディア英語版 | Angus Walters
Angus Walters (9 June 1881 – 11 August 1968) was a sailor and sea captain who skippered ''Bluenose'' (which appears on the Canadian dime) from 1921 – 1938. Walters captained ''Bluenose'' to five international sailing races, and was undefeated for seventeen years. ==Childhood and early life at sea== Angus Walters was born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, a fishing community, located on the south shore of Nova Scotia. He was one of twelve children of Adelaide and Elias Walters, a fisherman and captain of the schooner ''Nyanza''.〔 〕 At age fourteen, in 1895, Walters started his career as a fisherman on his father’s boat. He started as a “throater” where he was responsible for grabbing fish, cutting their throats and slicing the belly down to the tail.〔 〕 His career also led him to learning about life at sea as a "header"〔 and a "doryman."〔 Walters sailed on his father’s ship for two years until it sank off the Magdalen Islands.
