"This form of transportation rose to prominence in the 19th Century. The York Boat was invented by a Métis man by the name of Sinclair. These boats played a major role in the fur trade industry - as they replaced the freight canoes on the main water systems of Canada. They had a larger carrying capacity and required fewer men to operate them. These boats enabled furs to be transported faster and much more economically than by canoe."
