Stroll the waterfront of 17th century
England, where the two-masted ketch Nonsuch
awaits high tide, morning light and a voyage into
history. In 1668, the original Nonsuch
sailed into Hudson Bay in search of furs. The voyage
not only led to the founding of the Hudson's Bay
Company two years later, but was instrumental in
establishing commerce in western Canada. Built in
England to celebrate the tricentennial of the Hudson's
Bay Company in 1970, the Nonsuch is considered
one of the finest replicas in the world, and sailed
14,000 kilometres of salt and fresh water before
finding a home at the Museum.
A summary
of the Nonsuch story, by Laird Rankin, author of The Return Nonsuch: The Ship that Launched an Empire This publication is available at the Museum
Shop.
