Latham Jenson has helped to preserve the history and heritage of Atlantic Canada. As an illustrator and author, he has depicted East Coast maritime traditions and created a historically accurate visual record of the architectural style of Nova Scotia's heritage buildings. He also produced the definitive set of measured drawings for our internationally renowned sailing ambassador, Bluenose II. This former World War II Navy Commander published Tin Hats, Oilskins and Seaboots, which serves as his memoirs and a tribute to his fellow sailors. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and the Nova Scotia Museum have also benefited from his commitment to safeguarding Halifax's marine and built heritage.
