2002 Canada $20 Transportation Ship - William Lawrence Sterling Silver

2002 Transportation Series - William D Lawrence

As is typical, the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear or be missing, and coin might have some light toning.

The William D. Lawrence displaced 2,458 tons and measured 262 feet in length - making it the largest ship ever built in the Maritimes! Surprisingly, this huge three-masted square-rigger handled "like a yacht" and reached speeds of 14 knots. 

The 2002 Transportation Series is the last issue in a three year series. The series focuses on Canadian innovations in transportation on land, sea, and rail that contributed to our rich Canadian transportation history. Each coin in the series has a $20 face value and features a hologram depicting each form of transportation.
