I have carved a scale model of the Northern Canoe, right now Im doing the same for the Montreal Canoe. Would you have details you could send me so I make it accurate.
Number of seats is one important thing I neewd to know.
if you send me a place to send an e-mail I will send pictures of the Northern Canoe I carved.
thanks
After a few contacts, Greg’s carving will now be a blog post or two.
I never realized the Voyageurs canoes were so large-600 lbs!
They were huge! And when they absorbed water, they were HEAVY! No wonder it took four men to portage a Montreal canoe!
