Canada

Daniel Herald trained as a shipwright and started his own business as a canoe builder in 1862. In 1880 he formed a partnership with John Hutchinson, known as Herald & Hutchinson until 1890 when Daniel Herald died. The business was then taken over by Daniel’s sons and the company became the Herald Bros Canoe Co. It was later renamed the Rice Lake Canoe Company. The family sold the business in 1920 and it may have been subsumed by the Peterborough Canoe Co.

Fonction

Interior section of a canoe to show its structure and design.

Technique

This section of canoe shows the distinctive design used by the Herald Bros Canoe Company Co. Made of cedar and fitted with a mast step and collar so that it could be rigged for sailing. The term “patent” refers to the mould used in the building of the canoe. Herald developed a technique of double-skin construction, resulting in canoes of exceptional strength and possessing a smooth inner skin. Herald also used moulds for rib and batten model canoes.
