Birch bark canoe at local club

[Canoeal]

I am valueing a collection for a nearby canoe club and this is one of the 10 canoes. I thought some of you may want to see one. It is a nearly 100 year old micmac canoe. No, they are not going up for sale; it is to reinsure the collection.

Al,

Is that canoe nailed? I don't see any lashings.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I always enjoy seeing birchbarks.

Yes it is. The gunnels are nailed with steel nails.
