Hoist the sails and set a course for Canada's Tall Ship era.
Our new annual series of $200 pure gold coins is a collectible ode to Canada's Golden Age of Sail. Each instalment brings a different type of tall ship to the fore, beginning with the brigantine highlighted on this coin.
The backbone of Canada's marine industry in the 19__ century, the brigantine was the versatile workhorse that plied the coastal trade routes and sailed on the high seas. This tall ship is distinguished by a fully square-rigged foremast and a fore-and-aft mainsail-a combination that made it easier to manoeuvre in rivers and along our eastern coastline, where the busy shipyards, ports and harbours connected us to the world.
