Atlantica is a 47-foot wooden schooner designed and built in 1967 by Mr. David Stevens. She is now based in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia and is owned and skippered by Mr. Tye Burt.
The construction of Atlantica was the showcase event for Canada's Atlantic Provinces Pavilion at "Expo '67", the World's Fair in Montréal, Québec. As wooden schooner- building is an art long associated with Atlantic Canada, it was decided that the construction of a typical fishing-style schooner would be a fitting contribution to the country's Centennial celebrations.
