J.H. Rushton, America’s premier canoe builder, for the burgeoning market of pleasure paddlers, designed the Indian Girl. Wood-canvas construction was pioneered in Maine and first offered commercially in the mid 1870’s. Wood-canvas became the standard for canoes primarily because it was so much cheaper than all wood construction. A wood-canvas canoe is watertight due to a canvas covering stretched over a wooden hull in which the planks are merely butted together. After it is fastened to the wooden hull, the canvas is filled to make it waterproof and then painted. Model kit hull construction: Strip Planking.
