'''''Stag''''' was a [[barque]] built in  [[Nova Scotia]] which was renowned for its speed.  Designed by a pioneering Canadian naval architect [[Ebenezer Moseley]], ''Stag'' was built with a dramatic "[[Aberdeen bow]]".  Considered an Atlantic Canadian example of a [[Clipper Ship]], she was famous for several fast passages, despite her small size, and was painted by the famous Nova Scotian ship portrait artist [[John O'Brien (marine artist)|John O'Brien]].
