The Mi'kmaq petroglyph images of these single masted boats are from Nova Scotia archives.

The Mi'kmaq had been in contact with the Europeans and had been influenced by their sailing vessels. They made sense of this and understood how the power of wind could be used beneficially.

These rock pictures collected by George Creed depict a record of Mi'kmaq daily activities, animals, their lifestyle and what they saw around them.
