Revival of the Ice Canoe: Lost History and Wild Delights of a Quebecois Sport
- phaemon 7y agoDisappointed this wasn't building canoes out of ice. That sounds more fun. There was actually a plan to build ships out of ice during WWII, and then they came up with a better material which was wood pulp mixed with ice. It was stronger and took longer to melt.
