Commemorates the contribution of Jack Cockburn, founder of Cockburn Boat Works, to the lumbering industry in the Upper Ottawa Valley
These boats were designed by John Cockburn in the 1850's and were built exclusively in Pembroke by three generations of his family. They were used extensively in the lumber industry and development of rivers and ports throughout Canada. It has been said these boats would float on a heavy dew.
