In the late 19th century a number of variations in sail form took place in some localities; on the Pacific Coast many schooners had the mainsail of triangular form with a long, triangular topsail set above and abaft this, with its sheet made up to the end of the main boom. This rig was also used on the spanker in barkentines and brigantines built on the West Coast. Auxiliary steam schooners were built on the Pacific Coast and on the Great Lakes. On the Lakes these were actually steam barges with a rather large sail plan and had a 3- or 4-masted schooner rig without a bowsprit. On the Pacific Coast the "steam schooner" was employed in the coastal lumber trade and even- tually this name was so well established that it became the type-name of the lumber vessels there, even after they became steamers without a sailing rig. The relation of Canadian builders to American builders requires mention, for there are a few Cana- dian half-models in the Watercraft Collection. From Colonial times, after Canada ceased to be a French colony, the relationship between shipbuilders of Can- ada and of the United States was very close, particu- larly between those of Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick builders and those of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
