Model Canoe | People | Model Floats96

Whaling canoes were about five fathoms long and carried a crew of eight: a steersman, six paddlers, and the harpooner who was the leader of the crew. Four miniature sealskin floats, inside of this model canoe, are attached to the line of twisted cedar withes, which are ready to slow the whale and inhibit its diving.
