1997.011.123Description
This canoe was carved by Aleck Kettle for Mary Fullington (1898-1994) when she was a child. Date of construction is circa 1910-1915. After Mary's death in 1994, the canoe and her estate, passed to her friend Drake Salladay of Seattle. Drake died one year later and the Fullington estate, including the canoe, subsequently passed to Drake's sister Susan Sanders and his brother Paul Salladay who lives in Winthrop, Washington. At that time, Pail did not know what he wanted to do with the canoe and he contacted local resident, Judy Lynn. The canoe was subsequently stored at her home until a decision was made.
In May 1997, Theresa Trebon of Ebey's Landing NHR, interviewed Paul Salladay at his home. The subject of the oral history interview was Mary Fullington. Paul mentioned he had Mary's canoe, carved by Aleck Kettle, and was thinking of donating it somewhere. Theresa persuaded Paul to donate it to the ICHS Museum since the canoe, and it's builder, Aleck Kettle, and owner Mary Fullington, were both from this area. Paul signed the donation form in November 1997. On May 6, 1998, Theresa and Val Arnold moved the canoe to the museum.
This is the third canoe carved by Aleck Kettle which the museum owns. The canoe has not been stored outside and has two large cracks in the hull.Collection
