1981.001 Boat Type: Canoe, Dugout Builder: Anonymous Model: N/A Length: 13'6" Beam: 36" Date Built: 1870-1880 This is a dugout canoe, a craft carved from a single log, in the manner of certain Native American tribes. Records indicate this craft originated in South Carolina. The boat was most likely double-ended originally, and one end was cut off at some point to accommodate an outboard motor. Metal plates were nailed to inside of the boat on the bottom, probably to cover cracks which developed as the wood aged. The bow of the boat is dry-rotted with pieces missing, at some point an attempt was made to nail missing pieces into place. There are several large cracks down the center of the boat, making the craft unsound and fragile. EVS 08Collection
