Supercub, you need to get out more! Looks like you're in New Brunswick. Go to the Miramichi River country and you'll see them in the river. Drop an hour or two south into Maine. You'll see them there too. If you look close, you'll see a hand weaved pack basket made by a gal in my tribe who was originally from Red Bank reserve in New Brunswick. My grandmother came from Eel Ground New Brunswick. Lotta canoe and basket makers in your neck of the woods.
I've seen the big river canoes on the Miramichi but the ones I saw weren't the big heavy freighters like I saw in the Yukon.
I did notice that basket. You see them up north on the river not so much down here in the south.
