Canada (1891)
''Canada'' was a full rigged ship built in 1891 at Kingsport, Nova Scotia on the Minas Basin. She was one of the largest wooden sailing vessels ever built in Canada. Her owner had planned to make her the largest sailing ship built in Canada but damage to a timber intended for the keel caused her length to be trimmed by ten feet making ''Canada'' slightly smaller than the ship ''William D. Lawrence''.〔Joey St. Clair Patterson, ''Hantsport Shipbuilding: 1849-1893'', Hantsport: Tug Boat Publishing, 2008, p. 111.〕 Thousands of people from Kings and Hants Counties attended the launch. Classed A1 by Lloyd's Register for 14 years, ''Canada'' made several fast passages between South America and Australia. However by 1900, the ship was finding cargoes difficult to get in the face of competition from tramp steamers. ''Canada'' was converted to a gypsum barge in 1910, carrying gypsum from Windsor, Nova Scotia to Staten Island, New York for the Gypsum Transportation Company of New York. She was towed a final time from New York to Portland, Maine in 1926 where she was broken up.
