Chesuncook Canoe Company's founder Bill Haggerty has had a camp on Chesuncook Lake for over 30 years and he has lived near Long Island Sound and the Connecticut River his whole life. This has given him a great deal of first hand experience in freighter canoes of all sizes from the tough little 12' Feather to the 23' James Bay.

Chesuncook Canoe Company specializes in freighter canoes and duck boats. For many years, freighter canoes were Canada's best kept secret. Most freighter canoes were sold in northern Canada where big water is the rule not the exception. They are routinely used to ship heavy loads over great distances. Freighter canoes are used off the coast of Labrador where trips of 50 miles or more are very common, therefore, they have to be safe stable and comfortable.
