Fort Edmonton Trading Point and York Boats History
Fort Edmonton on the Saskatchewan River was a major trading center 120 years ago with York canoes and later York boats used for freight. The fleet, based at Fort Edmonton and Rocky Mountain House, carried baled furs pemmican dried meat and leather to eastern posts. York boats required crews and strict portage rules as brigades met daily with east and west bounds. By 1872 steamboats began replacing York boats and the rail era ended the riverine system.
