From card: Collector U.S. Fish Commission, USS Steamer Albatross. Collected 1892. "Scale model, 1" to the foot. Lt. [G.] T. Emmons USN says this was used for the catching of sea otter, much used for their furs. A keelless open dugout canoe with a flat ridge on the bottom of the keel, one end rises slightly and there is strong sheer at the bow. Returned to the Division of Ethnology 1960. [Returned from the Division of Engineering. Old Engineering # 76276.] One third of the top of the stern end was broken away when examined in Nov. 1963 - R. Elder. Collins Ms. p. 1223."Note, citation on card to the entry on this canoe model in the Collins Ms. is incorrect. This canoe model is described on p. 902 of the Collins Ms., not p. 1223. The text in the remarks on the card is mostly from the Collins Ms., and in that Ms. it notes that G. T. (i.e. George Thornton) Emmons is the one saying this canoe model is the type of the Yakutat Tlingit, of Cook's Inlet (a.k.a. Cook Inlet), Alaska. It is unclear from the entry if Emmons was indicating that this was actually collected at Cook Inlet, or merely that it is a canoe model typical of the Yakutat Tlingit of that area. Accession file identifies the canoe model only as from Southwest Alaska.
