HISTORY OF THE INDIAN GIRL CANOE: THE RECREATIONAL BOAT IN USA

Discover the beautiful The Indian Girl Canoe, new model for 2024 and made of wood of the typical boat of Western and American Indian films.

The Indian canoe was designed by J.H. Rushton, America's leading canoe builder, for the burgeoning pleasure paddler market, which introduced the Indian Girl model in 1902. To quote Mr. Rushton: "The Indian Girl is strong, light, safe yet fast, graceful yet seaworthy." This design from the beginning of the last century lives up to its name.

It is interesting to know that Rushton hired M. Roundry services from the B.N. Morris Canoe Company in Maine to build the Indian Girl. Roundry had the expertise to build quality wood and canvas canoes that Rushton did not. In the 1910s and 1920s, the Indian Girl model became extremely popular and became Rushton's best-selling canoe.
