About
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 19ᵗʰ 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.
