Newfoundland Sou’wester

Tall Ships is the epitome of a small, local business. Founded in 1977 by Allan Rodger, who saw a need for souvenirs that would appeal to both visitors and locals, the company started with a single product — a Bluenose II poster, sold out of the back of a station wagon to shops throughout Nova Scotia. Over 40 years later, Tall Ships has expanded to produce and distribute a wide range of souvenirs and gift items across Atlantic Canada and beyond.

As we've grown, so has our product line. Today, we offer a variety of items, from souvenir food and candy to seafood and lobster accessories, plush toys, socks, hats, hoodies, fleeces, jewelry, and a wide range of customized products.

We are committed to tradition, quality, and building strong relationships with our customers. And if you were wondering, that original Bluenose II poster is still available for purchase today.
