The car club at Moose Jaw agreed to the restoration of Tom Sukanen's ship at their museum site. Tom Sukanen was a Finnish homesteader who settled near Birsay who hoped to travel home again on his ship he assembled near the South Saskatchewan River.

The Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum features a typical village replete with pioneer artifacts and tractors, cars and trucks, even a McCabe's Grain Co. grain elevator built in 1913 standing approximately 68 feet (21 m) tall. The elevator was moved from Mawer in 2007 to its new location, nearly 60 km southeast of its original location. The village is restored by the Moose Jaw car club, and is run by volunteers.[1]
