Cockburn Pointer Boat at Algonquin Logging Museum


The bright red interior is the result of a preservative made from double boiled linseed oil and jewelers rouge being applied to the whole structure except the middle of the plank seats where the loggers sat; apparently this preservative would wear out the seats of the loggers trousers. This distinctive bright brick red colour became another trademark of the Pointer Boat.
