E.H. Gerrish Canoe Company
text:
E.H. Gerrish (1847–1930) is credited with being the first person to sell wood-canvas canoes commercially. From 1882 to 1909, Gerrish built and sold canoes from a shop in Bangor, Maine. Early Gerrish canoes contain elements of the birchbark canoes upon which they were based. If studied from earliest-to-latest, the canoes of E.H. Gerrish appear to show the morphing of the wood-canvas from its roots in the birch bark to the modern open gunwale canoe.
