The Nonsuch at the Meuseum of Man and Nature

The Manitoba Museum. Only there can you travel through time to the roaring 20′s, explore a 17th century ship, and view treasures from around the world.
The Nonsuch
. In 1668, the original Nonsuch sailed into Hudson Bay in search of furs. The voyage not only led to the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company two years later, but was instrumental in establishing commerce in western Canada. Built in England to celebrate the tricentennial of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1970, theNonsuch is considered one of the finest replicas in the world, and sailed 14,000 kilometres of salt and fresh water before finding a home at the Museum.
