Fort George and Buckingham House One River, Many Boats! Water Transportation

Fort George & Buckingham House’s current exhibit explores the “Fur Trade Highways of Alberta: Water Transportation, 1780-1930.”

Do you know how big a York boat was? How much cargo could a fur trade canoe carry? What do you know about boat construction? Or voyageur songs?
