King's Orange Rangers Fire a Volley from the Bluenose in Lunenburg, 2003Home to the famous fishing schooner Bluenose, Lunenburg celebrated its 250th birthday in 2003 and the King's Orange Rangers were there to protect the German settlers as they went ashore at Rouse's Brook.  The King's Orange Rangers are pictured here delivering a volley in response to a threat from enemies on shore before the settlers are able to land.  The vessel is none other than the Bluenose II, which was used for the re-enactment. 

Captain Bethel's Company of the KOR served the Lunenburg area during the early 1780s to protect the town from marauding American Privateers.
