An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Nonsuch was the ketch that sailed into Hudson Bay in 1668-1669 under Zachariah Gillam, in the first trading voyage for what was to become the Hudson's Bay Company two years later. Originally built as a merchant ship in 1650, and later the Royal Navy ketch HMS Nonsuch, the vessel was sold to Sir William Warren in 1667. The name means "none such", i.e. "unequalled". The ship was at the time considered smaller than many others but was specifically selected because of her small size so that when she arrived in Hudson Bay and James Bay she could be sailed up-river and taken out of water so the thick ice of the bay wouldn't crush her.

  • De Nonsuch was een kitsgetuigd handelsvaartuig, wat betekent dat het twee masten had. Het schip had een laadvermogen van 43 ton en was met een lengte van 15,20 m en een breedte van 4,30 m kleiner dan de meeste handelsschepen van die tijd. Hierdoor was het beter geschikt voor het manoeuvreren door de rivieren van Noord-Canada. Een zeer goede replica is te bezichtigen in het Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature in Winnipeg. (nl)
