註釋
North Bay's first settlers began building ocean-going fishing boats, cutting trees by hand, pulling them from the woods to the river bank, and floating the logs downstream to the village. The logs were pulled ashore and cut into boards by men using pit saws. The completed vessels, some sixty feet long, were launched by hand to the river, and sold to fishermen along the coast. From 1890 until 1968, three generations built over 150 vessels.
