TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 4:14 pm It seems it's only generic. Charlton catalogue just adds that it's a Hudson Bay voyageur. There's an HB incused into the front bundle in the canoe. Sorry, no Radisson and Groseilliers from old history classes. Edited by TerryT 10/13/2018 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
