March 2, 2024
Watch as a crew of first-rate BC shipwrights restore and rebuild NORTH STAR OF HERSCHEL ISLAND, the last of the sailing Arctic fur trading ships. She was purpose-built in 1935 for two Inuit fur trappers and used extensively in the Canadian high Arctic to deliver furs to market and to take winter supplies back to their home port. NORTH STAR has lived a rich life since then as an educational and family ship, but the time has come for a total restoration.
The project has been taken on by Favourite Boatworks in Vancouver, BC, with historical information provided by the Vancouver Maritime Museum. You can see the NORTH STAR of Herschel Island official website here.
