Question Canso equipped with full clipper bow?

I was reading the accident report of the PBY-5A Canso CF-IHA which was totalled during landing in Nuuk, Greenland, harbour in 1962.
The author found it relevant to state that it was the captains "... firstglassy calm water landing with a Canso equipped with full clipper bow".
Google has not been cooperative in determining what a "full clipper bow" on a Canso is and/or how it would affect the landing.
Any suggestions ?
