$450.00

John Jenkins Designs - RETIRED COLLECTION

Item Number: WHRR-01

In the early days of the French and Indian War, birch-bark canoes and bateauxs (rowing vessels made for transporting goods) were used by the Rangers for traveling across the northern lakes.
The bateaux were known as stupid, clumsy, worthless things. These were heavy and awkward to move overland.
In 1756, whaleboats were introduced, which were brought in from Cape Cod and Nantucket. These were made of light cedar planking, were fast moving and were light to carry overland when needed.
They were designed for speed, they had keels, round bottoms and sharp ends, which allowed for a quick change of direction, and allowed for agile handling even in rough waters. Set includes 6 figures, boat and accessories. 20 piece set.
Limited edition of 350.
