Big Canoes are based on the historical voyageurs canoes that once navigated the Great Lakes. These canoes were utilized by expert canoeists of the Great Lakes for the fur trade. Their canoes were originally made of birch bark, cedar strips, and pine gum. Each voyageur canoe weighed approximately 300 pounds when empty but often contained five tons of men and trading goods.
