"Unca" Pointer Boat in its Slip at Camp Tamakwa
David Stringer told me that these two clones of the actual Cockburn Pointer boats bought in 1968 were necessary as the original boats would only last about ten years due to their construction with steel nails and the "spruce-pine-fir" construction materials. These clones are made of cedar with ash ribs and gunwales and nailed with proper boat nails.

Dave Stringer on "Cowan" Pointer Boat at Camp Tamakwa
David Stringer is the Assistant Director of Camp Tamakwa on South Tea Lake in Agonquin Park. He is standing on the "Cowan" which is a replica Cockburn pointer boat built by the Cowan Brothers to replace an original Cockburn Pointer boat. David was kind enough to invite my son and I to visit the camp, talk about the history of Cockburn pointer boats, take pictures and give us a tour of the rest of the camp. David also has a "Dippy" boat with its disappearing propeller in his collection.
