For anyone interested in the 1905 Mina Hubbard / Dillon Wallace Labrador expeditions, here something that might interest you...
Labrador Passage is a documentary film project setting out to retrace Mina Hubbard's 1905 canoe journey through Labrador. The two crew paddling team attempt the trip in the summer of 2014 and will be using as much traditional, non-synthetic equipment as possible - canvas packs, tin-cloth rain gear, a canvas tent, etc. The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum is commissioning a specially built Atkinson Traveler cedar canvas canoe from Rollin Thurlow of the Northwoods Canoe Company. The plan is that after the expedition the Traveler will be returned to the WCHM where it will be added to museum collection for display.
Here's a vimeo vid of one of the crew members describing the plans for the journey.
