This week on Sunday Boat Stories we’re back in the Collections vault with a Rushton model Indian Girl canoe. Built by famed canoe and guideboat maker Henry Rushton starting in 1901, the Indian Girl was his first canvas canoe — though it could also be purchased as a straight cedar build. This particular canoe carries a poignant story. Purchased in 1913 by college freshman Osbourne Merrill for $41, he enjoyed paddling it all summer before tragically passing away in it. His mother stored the canoe

Sunday Boat Stories: The Nomad Sailing Canoe 🛶 Created in 1887 by master builder J. Henry Rushton, the Nomad represents the peak of sailing canoe design. This one, purchased in 1910 for $175, was part of a pair carried aboard Joseph Van Vleck's yacht for his sons to sail. Adaptable for paddling or sailing, it was used strictly under sail—a graceful blend of elegance and adventure. . . . . . #SundayBoatStories #MysticSeaportMuseum #WoodenBoats #CanoeSailing #SailingHistory #AmericanWatercraftCol
