The Rushton Canoe

From 1873 until his death in 1906, Canton, NY boatbuilder J. Henry Rushton made what would become some of the most renowned and coveted of canoes. The New York Times once described the Rushton canoes as the “strongest, lightest, most graceful and most useful, paddling canoe that has yet been devised.”

"If boats lasted as long as violins and were cherished as much, (Rushton) might become the Stradivarius of the canoe," Atwood Manley wrote in his book "Rushton and His Times in American Canoeing"
