Of dust and steam - The H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy

[...]

When innovator Henry Seth Taylor first exhibited his "mechanical curiosity" at a fair in Stanstead, Quebec in 1867, the steam hoses burst, stailling thevehicle and hiding Taylor in a cloud of steam. Still Taylor persistedand returned the following year to complete a successful lap around the track.

Taylor used a unique steam buggy for a period of timeuntil it was damaged and subsequently stored away in the family barn until it was rediscovered in 1960. It was restored and put on display at the Ontario Science Centre (1969) and was purchased by the NationalMuseum of Science and Technology in 1983. The H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy is considered to be the first Canadian automobile and one of the earliest steam cars in North America. It is recognized as one of the oldest surviving operable automobiles in the world.

This coinis the first issue of the Canadian transportations collection that was released between 2000 and 2003. The complete collection contains 12 coins; four on the land transportation, four on the sea transportation and four on the rail transportation.
