The new ''Nonsuch'', a replica of the original, was commissioned by the HBC to celebrate their tercentenary in 1970 . The ship was crafted using tools and materials of the seventeenth century. When completed, it was placed on a ship and transported to Canada, where it sailed down the Atlantic coast of Canada and the United States. It also sailed through the Great Lakes and then was placed on a semi trailer and taken to Seattle for a voyage down the Pacific coast. It was presented by HBC to the citizens of Manitoba and placed on permanent display in 1973 . The Nonsuch Gallery at the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg , Manitoba was built specifically for the ship (it was a 90 feet gallery, and it gives a feel of the 17th century scene for the sailors and visitors and shows the ship at the English port of Deptford , just before it embarks on the journey to Hudson Bay.
