2002 Transportation Series – William D Lawrence

The William D. Lawrence displaced 2,458 tons and measured 262 feet in length – making it the largest ship ever built in the Maritimes! Surprisingly, this huge three-masted square-rigger handled like a yacht and reached speeds of 14 knots.

The 2002 Transportation Series is the last issue in a three year series. The series focuses on Canadian innovations in transportation on land, sea, and rail that contributed to our rich Canadian transportation history. Each coin in the series has a $20 face value and features a hologram depicting each form of transportation.
