Angus James Walters (9 June 1881 – 11 August 1968) was a sailor and sea captain who skippered the famed Grand Banks fishing schooner Bluenose from 1921 to 1938.

Walters captained Bluenose to five international sailing championships, and was undefeated for seventeen years.

He started as a "throater" where he was responsible for grabbing fish, cutting their throats and slicing the belly down to the tail.

After that a group of Halifax businessmen, wanting to give Canada a better chance to win, established a racing committee.

Bluenose won and continued to win five international titles under Walter's command.

Walters had master's papers for home trade at the beginning of her career, so for some international races he invited George Myra, a deep sea Lunenburg captain and friend to command Bluenose in international waters until the schooner reached the racing port.

[3] In 1935 Walters was invited to take part in the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary of England.

But his grandson, Wayne Walters, followed Angus to the sea as captain of Bluenose II.

He sailed Bluenose in one final regatta that year, against the American Gertrude L. Thebaud under Captain Ben Pine.

In the 1941 election, Walters attempted to enter provincial politics as a Conservative candidate in the dual member Lunenburg County riding,[5] but was defeated.

Walters helped to drive the symbolic golden spike at the start of construction and was consulted at every stage of the building of the ship.
