Notes from "Travel from post to post!"
The York boat was the workhorse of the Hudson’s Bay Company in the 19h century. On the Red River and its tributaries, it was quite common to see these robust wooden boats, led by half a dozen men, often Métis, carrying up to five tons of merchandise such as the precious furs.
