York boat replica at Fort Edmonton Park, Edmonton, Alberta
The York boat was a type of inland boat used by the Hudson's Bay Company to carry furs and trade goods along inland waterways in Rupert's Land, the watershed stretching from Hudson Bay to the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.[1][2] It was named after York Factory, the headquarters of the HBC, and by some accounts was supposedly modeled after the Orkney yole (itself a descendant of the Viking longship).[3] Two variations to the York Boat were scows and "Sturgeon Heads."[4]
