It is commonly accepted that the canoe as we know it is an adaptation of earlier
Native models. As you may have guessed, there is no single origin or model of
the canoe! The canoe with its various shapes and forms and sizes was a common
watercraft of numerous aboriginal groups on the North American continent and
its design characteristics depended in part on the area of intended use. Some
canoes had a high bow and stern, others had bows and decks partially or completely
covered as in a kayak. East coast canoes or those used on the Great Lakes were
large and sturdily crafted canoes; others used in the interior and on the prairie
were small and essentially single person or even single crossing crafts.
The early model canoes were made of readily available local materials: a light
wooden frame or skeleton (often cedar) with a birch bark exterior or skin. The
canoe was designed to travel the diverse waterways of the continent- from large
lakes to fast and/or shallow, marshy rivers including the possibility of frequent
portages. By necessity, therefore, the canoes had to be light-weight, yet rugged
enough to withstand the often dangerous sections of interior waterways.

"Dear Melissa,
I received the US Constitution in perfect condition!
I have been working a solid hour carefully
removing her from the crating. I can honestly say,
I am now an expert in performing this tedious task.
I want to thank you and your company for meeting
and surpassing my expectations not only in the
quality of the model ship but in the Great Customer
Service provided to insure my complete satisfaction.
In this day an age this is a hell of an accomplishment.
Best regards,
Tom Quartararo"
"Aloha,
Just wanted you to know I got the ship last week....
in perfect condition I may add, and it now graces my
living room - a reminder of my trip to see the REAL
Wasa in Stockholm last summer. Thank you very much!
