This is an example of a Cedar Strip Canoe first made by the William English Canoe Company. William English grew up building wagons and sleighs. In 1861 he purchased a canoe mold and patterns from John Stephenson then set up a canoe-making shop at 182 Charlotte St, Gores Landing on the shore of Rice Lake. His shop employed five or six workmen building a variety of small craft. After William died in 1891, the company was taken over by his brothers, James and Samuel W. English who sold it to the Peterborough Canoe Company in 1914.

Fonction

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

Technique

Cedarstrip construction is among the best known of the early wooden canoe types. The styled was originally developed by J.S. Stephenson in 1883. The hull is made up of long strips of cedar running stem to sterns. Ship laps are also joined one above the other. The hull has half-round ribs fashioned from rock elm and arranged on two inch centres, which helps to strengthen it.
